John Wiley & Sons, Inc., was today announced as the new publisher of
research reports from Educational
Testing Service (ETS), the world's largest nonprofit educational
assessment and research organization. From January 2014, the ETS
Research Reportseries will be available on Wiley
Online Library.
Based in Princeton, New Jersey, ETS develops, administers, and scores
more than 50 million achievement and admissions tests each year, at more
than 9,000 locations across the United States and over 180 other
countries.
Since its foundation in 1947, ETS has developed a range of research
programs, covering psychometric and statistical methodology; educational
evaluation; performance assessment and scoring; large-scale assessment
and evaluation; cognitive, developmental, personality, and social
psychology; and education policy. New research, as well as archives
dating to 1948, will be published on Wiley Online Library, the world's
broadest multidisciplinary collection of online resources.
“We are pleased to be working with one of the leading providers of
scholarly content in the world to publish and disseminate ETS research
findings,” said Ida Lawrence, Senior Vice President of the R&D Division,
ETS. “Wiley’s global reach and digital publishing platform will help
ensure that ETS research is available to the largest audience possible.”
“ETS has a long history of conducting studies into topics of wide
interest to the educational research community,” said Jim Carlson, the
Daniel Eignor Executive Editor of the ETS Research Report series.
“ETS’s research reports have presented research that is the forefront of
the field, but these publications often have been overlooked. This
publishing arrangement with Wiley should lead to more readers finding
the series and benefitting from years of research conducted by ETS.”
“Wiley and the ETS are both global organizations based in New Jersey,
which specialize in supporting the international education community,”
said Philip Carpenter, Wiley Vice President and Managing Director,
Research Communications. “Our agreement will ensure that thought-leading
ETS research can be accessed and shared by the largest international
audience.”
