Elsevier’s unique, data-driven approach can help you to identify, solicit and acquire the most relevant content, and ScienceDirect and our journal-branded sites provide that content with unrivalled visibility and market penetration worldwide, maximizing its reach and impact.
Working with Elsevier felt like a good fit from the beginning – not just in terms of the tools and scope that Elsevier is able to bring to the table, but also the fact that the team that we work with on a daily basis is as excited about the journal as we are. I also judge it just in terms of my team's satisfaction and their experience working with the resources of Elsevier, which has been excellent…

Open access focus and experience

As one of the world’s leading open access publishers, Elsevier publishes over 890 fully open access journals and has helped many societies embrace open access.
Elsevier is absolutely committed to meeting authors’ needs and has a wealth of experience in launching and flipping journals to open access; in developing subscription and open access portfolios for success; and in helping societies to respond to initiatives such as Plan S and OSTP, and grow through Transformative Agreements.
The International Association for Food Protection and Poultry Science Association are just two societies that have recently made the switch to full gold open access.
…We chose Elsevier not only because of its reputation but its reach. And we were very impressed with the individuals that came and spoke with us as they were very knowledgeable about open access… Elsevier really had a dedicated plan for how we went about the transition and what to tell our members.

We focus on understanding the unique needs of each market, expanding our local teams in cities such as Beijing, Shenzhen, and Chennai. By working closely with key stakeholders, we aim to enable progress and foster partnerships that benefit the wider research community.
The International Dental Journal now has an outstanding publishing partner in Elsevier, helping to understand and react to the oral and dental publishing environment… Even though we have only been working together for 1 year, Elsevier has proven to be an excellent publishing partner, helping greatly with the transition to this new [Gold open access] model
