DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, 16th January 2020: Zendy users have access to additional scholarly research: 311 journals have now been added to ZendyPlus from Emerald Publishing in selected African countries.
What is Zendy? Zendy is for all the students who just graduated only to discover they were locked out of their university’s database, or for nonprofits researching wildlife who continue hitting exorbitant paywalls, or for the entrepreneur looking for new research but is concerned about the pay per view fees. Zendy aims to rebuild the fragmented and restrictively expensive research community and provide a one-stop-solution for scholars, nonprofits, independent learners, and everyone else.
Emerald Publishing has now joined Zendy with a pertinent portfolio of 311 e-journals. Emerald’s collection of scholarly literature provides extensive coverage across critical disciplines, offering new perspectives on highly relevant subjects and themes. “Emerald Publishing is delighted to extend our working relationship with Knowledge E, having worked successfully together to serve the academic community across the region. We’re excited to bring our journal content to new audiences and new markets and look forward to furthering our relationship through the Zendy platform.” – Head of commercial operations, Emerald Publishing, John Eggleton
“The Zendy team is thrilled to be taking another step towards this vision with Emerald Publishing and look forward to the many discoveries that could emanate from a united, global, collaborative research ecosystem.” – Founder and CEO, Knowledge E, Kamran R. Kardan
About Zendy
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. Current scholarly databases exist behind crippling paywalls or require university facilitated access, which is a challenge for individuals across the globe not affiliated with institutions. 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.
