At HeinOnline, our mission has always been to provide timely, reliable access to the legal and academic content researchers depend on. That is why we are excited to share an important update to our partnership with Wiley, one that directly benefits our users.
We have worked with Wiley to reduce the embargo period on 30 of their journals in HeinOnline from three years to just two years.
What This Means for Researchers
Shorter embargoes mean faster access to critical scholarship. With this change, HeinOnline users can now explore Wiley journal content a full year earlier.
For researchers, librarians, and students, this means:
- More current insights to support ongoing work
- Stronger literature reviews with access to newer scholarship
- Improved teaching resources with more up-to-date materials
In fast-moving fields, especially those intersecting with law, policy, and interdisciplinary research, timeliness matters. This update helps ensure that users are working with more relevant and impactful information.
