Wiley has launched Wiley Analytical Lab, a browser-based software-as-a-service platform that combines spectral search, compound identification and analytical data management in one online environment. [Scienmag](https://scienmag.com/wiley-launches-online-analytical-lab-for-spectral-search-and-data-management/) reported the launch on November 14, 2026.

## What Wiley Analytical Lab Does

The platform gives researchers centralized access to reference spectra, compound identification applications and dataset tools. Within the system, SpectraBase lets users search millions of verified reference spectra, KnowItAll AnyWare lets them upload experimental spectral files and identify unknown substances, and Wiley Data Hub lets them curate, validate, publish and share analytical findings across institutional teams and collaborative networks.

Wiley describes the platform as vendor-neutral, supporting investigators across instrument types, spectral file formats, laboratory sites and interdisciplinary teams. The cloud-based architecture complements Wiley's existing spectroscopy application programming interface portfolio and expands on features traditionally available through the desktop KnowItAll software ecosystem.

Armughan Rafat, Wiley senior vice president and chief AI and data analytics officer, said the platform represents "an important milestone in transforming authoritative scientific data into directly usable research intelligence." Rafat said laboratory investigators need integrated digital tools that help them move from an unknown sample to a verified analytical determination, and from raw experimental records to reusable, published scientific data, while establishing a foundation for ongoing data- and artificial-intelligence-driven workflows.

Initial institutional distribution will be available through KnowItAll Campus-Wide Solutions for university researchers and KnowItAll Complete Multi-User Licensing configurations for corporate and government research facilities.

## Earlier Wiley Product Moves

Wiley launched four new journals, Advanced City, Advanced Food, Advanced Microbiome and Advanced Psychology, with submissions opening in October 2026, Mirage News reported. The expansion brought the Advanced Portfolio to 36 journals, surpassing its February pledge of eight new titles by year-end.

Mirage News also reported that Wiley's Advanced Portfolio will support the 2026 Allison Institute symposium at UT MD Anderson, convening over 1,500 scientists.
