Khalifa University Establishes Open Access Agreement with Elsevier

Elsevier, a global leader in research publishing and information analytics, has established an open access agreement with Khalifa University of Science and Technology. The agreement grants researchers access to Elsevier journals via ScienceDirect and allows corresponding authors affiliated with Khalifa University to publish their research Open Access in select journals without incurring article publishing charges.

Dr. Bayan Sharif, Provost, Khalifa University said: “We are delighted to establish this agreement with Elsevier as we foster a research ecosystem where technological progress can be widely shared and built upon. By enabling our world-class faculty and researchers to publish via Open Access, they gain access to journals across every scientific discipline, receive expert support throughout the publication process, and benefit from unparalleled visibility on the global research platform ScienceDirect. Aligning with our commitment to advancing knowledge, the agreement also propels Khalifa University research to reach a wider global audience and pave the way for more collaboration and innovation.”

William Rubens, Regional Vice President at Elsevier, added “We're excited to join forces with Khalifa University to drive the future of Open Access. This collaboration marks a major step in fostering a research ecosystem that is both inclusive and accessible. Together, we will push the boundaries of knowledge and innovation, ensuring that a wider community of researchers can both contribute to and benefit from scientific advancements.”

In January 2024, Khalifa University launched Khazna, a cutting-edge institutional repository platform powered by Elsevier's Pure research information management system. Khazna provides a comprehensive and easily accessible platform for exploring the university's academic and research output, hosting a vast collection of over 1,880 PhD and Master’s theses with full metadata, abstracts, and in most cases, full-text access.
