24th January 2020

Emerald partners with Zendy offering individuals affordable access to a significant collection of scholarly research

Emerald collaborates with Zendy to give access to additional scholarly research with 311 journals in selected African countries.

As part of Emerald’s commitments to help make a positive change in the real world in line with the UN’s Sustainability Development Goals, this collaboration allows Zendy to offer a pertinent portfolio across critical disciplines, offering new perspectives on highly relevant subjects and fields.

Zendy gives access to scholarly research to a diverse audience who would otherwise not be able to use the information due to hitting high cost paywalls with a one-stop-solution for scholars, non-profits, independent learners and everyone else. All Open Access titles will, additionally, soon be made available on ZendyOpen. Here individuals will be able to search freely as well as download Open Access full-text material.

About Zendy

zendy.io

Zendy is an online platform created to provide individuals with access to scholarly research and literature. Zendy originates from the notion of building a more knowledgeable world, as there has never been a time where easy, affordable access to content has been more needed. Access to scientific publications is particularly troublesome in developing countries, where many universities cannot afford the subscription databases required for advancing research and studies. Zendy is working to remove barriers from scholarly discovery to make academic literature affordable and accessible to everyone, all academic and non-academic professionals, students and knowledge enthusiasts.

Zendy is developed by Knowledge E in a growing collaboration with researchers, students, institutions and publishers to facilitate the democratisation of knowledge.
