What do Wiley journals require?

Wiley publishes 1,700+ journals across science, medicine, social sciences, and humanities. Each journal has specific formatting requirements, but Wiley enforces universal standards: ORCID mandatory for all authors, structured funding statements, data availability declarations, and CrossRef DOI compliance. Wiley uses ScholarOne and Editorial Manager for submissions, each with specific file format requirements.
