Syracuse University Press Joins Zendy to Bridge the Global Gap in Research Access

Oxford, UK – June, 2026 – Zendy, an AI-Powered Research Library serving more than 800,000 readers globally, is proud to announce a new partnership with Syracuse University Press (SUP).

This collaboration marks a significant milestone in Zendy’s mission to democratize access to high-quality academic content, bringing Syracuse University Press’s wide-ranging scholarly collection to a burgeoning global audience.

“Syracuse University Press is delighted to partner with Zendy to make our award-winning books available more broadly and affordably around the world.” Syracuse University Press Director Catherine Cocks said. “As the publishing arm of a university dedicated to preparing engaged citizens, scholars, and leaders for participation in a changing global society, we aim to help students and researchers everywhere to understand and improve our shared home.”

Founded in 1943 by Chancellor William Pearson Tolley, Syracuse University Press has spent over eight decades establishing itself as a vital disseminator of engaged peer-reviewed scholarship. Through this agreement, a curated selection of SUP’s catalog will become accessible to Zendy’s international community of researchers, students, and professionals.

A Legacy of Innovation

Syracuse University was founded in 1870 with a mandate for equality, famously declaring that “brains and heart shall have a fair chance.” This partnership carries that spirit of inclusion into the 21st century by reducing the barriers that often hinder researchers in emerging markets.

“At Zendy, our focus is on making high-quality research more accessible without compromising on trust or integrity. Partnering with Syracuse University Press allows us to bring valuable scholarly work to a wider global audience, especially in regions where access has traditionally been limited,” said Kamran Kardan, Co-Founder of Zendy
