We’re particularly excited about working with Wiley to introduce new digital initiatives for both readers and authors that will promote access to the tools, resources and information vets need to develop their careers.”
“I am very pleased to welcome the British Veterinary Association to Wiley,” said Jay Flynn, Chief Product Officer, Research at Wiley.
