Universal access
Providing equitable and sustainable access to vital scientific and medical information
We believe everyone should have an equitable and sustainable opportunity to access quality scientific and medical information regardless of their economic situation, social class, ethnicity, background or physical disabilities- something we call universal access.
Elsevier encourages active engagement and discussions about access. We are investing our resources in developing new initiatives, expanding our open access and other access initiatives, and in developing our polices. For feedback and queries please contact universalaccess@elsevier.com.
