Wiley, a global leader in authoritative content and research intelligence for the advancement of scientific discovery, innovation and learning, today announced the release of additional data to its IR and Raman spectral libraries, significantly broadening compound coverage, including materials, polymers, minerals, and others.
This latest release includes the first installment of Raman spectra from Wiley's collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), announced earlier this spring, drawing from one of the world's most important mineral collections.
“Researchers depend on reference data as a foundation for sound scientific decisions,” said Graeme Whitley, senior director, data science solutions at Wiley. “Continuous updates ensure scientists always have the most current, reliable reference libraries at their fingertips, helping them work faster and make confident decisions when it matters most.”
