John
Wiley & Sons, Inc., (NYSE: JWa, JWb) is pleased to announce that Wiley
ChemPlanner was awarded the ALPSP Award for Innovation in
Publishing, and presented at the Association of Learned & Professional
Society Publishers (ALPSP) Conference in London. Recognized for its
powerful functionality and innovation, Wiley ChemPlanner is an inspiring
example of how publishing is adapting to meet new markets and enhance
research.
Wiley ChemPlanner combines state-of-the-art cheminformatics technology
with high quality data to speed up the early stages of the drug creation
process, potentially getting drugs to patients faster. By lowering the
barrier for synthesizing new molecules, Wiley ChemPlanner can accelerate
drug discovery. It enables chemists to optimize synthetic routes,
eliminating potentially harmful contaminating side products and reducing
manufacturing costs. The ALPSP honor follows Wiley ChemPlanner’s “Best
in Show” award in the Research & Clinical Data Management category
received at the BIO-IT World Conference & Expo earlier this year.
The ALPSP Awards recognize and celebrate innovation during a time of
rapid change in scholarly publishing. The awards are open to any new
development, product, service, launch, or project that demonstrates
originality, significance and value to the community, utility, and
long-term viability.
“We are honored to receive this Innovation in Publishing award for Wiley
ChemPlanner. The ChemPlanner team has worked diligently to bring
computer-aided synthesis design to life, and we continuously strive to
improve our world through innovations in research,” said Jay Flynn, SVP,
Research Publishing at Wiley. “To be recognized by the ALPSP judges
confirms what our team has long believed to be true, computers can
predict viable synthesis routes to target molecules, thereby enhancing
the creativity and productivity of users. This will revolutionize drug
discovery as we know it.”
Wiley ChemPlanner launched in September 2015 and is currently sold as
Software as a Service (SaaS) solution and hosted on secure servers, with
a local installation version coming this year. Visit www.chemplanner.com
