Our business

History

Elsevier, the modern publishing business, was founded in 1880. It has evolved from a small Dutch publishing house devoted to classical scholarship into an international multimedia publishing business with over 20,000 products for educational and professional science and healthcare communities worldwide. Elsevier takes its name from the original House of Elzevir, a Dutch family publishing house founded in 1580.

Elsevier’s history reflects a series of collaborations in the effort to advance science and health. These publishing collaborations with a group of scientific visionaries – ranging from Jules Verne to Stephen W. Hawking – created the foundation of scientific and medical publishing.

The efforts of the men and women dedicated to disseminating and using scientific and medical knowledge have been equally critical – the editors, printers, librarians, nurses, doctors, engineers, information specialists and business people at the centre of scientific and health publishing.

Relationships with other great science publishers such as North Holland, Pergamon, Mosby, W.B. Saunders, Churchill Livingstone and Academic Press have also been integral to our success. These are just a few of the companies that are now part of the Elsevier family, bringing with them rich histories of their own. As the company moves forward, our founding motto remains apt: Non Solus – Not Alone.

Open Science

Elsevier partners with the research community to empower open science.

Open access

Elsevier supports both gold and green open access. Working together, we can achieve a more inclusive, collaborative and transparent world of research. We believe open science can benefit research and society and drive research performance.

Research data

Elsevier supports researchers and institutions to store, share, discover, and effectively (re)use research data. Sharing and using research data can increase in the impact, validity, reproducibility, efficiency, and transparency of scientific research.

Science & society

Elsevier is improving how science is communicated and understood by specialized and general audiences.

From reading research to discussing the latest breakthroughs, fostering a greater connection between science, medicine and technology with society can help identify and solve society’s challenges.

Elsevier plays a role in this process by making sure that trusted content is communicated and translated for both specialized and broad audiences. Elsevier is working with partners, promoting science literacy and research integrity while making efforts to tackle unconscious bias in the publishing process.

Research integrity

We are committed to promote the integrity of research through a range of activities and initiatives – like offering free author training on publication ethics and providing transparency in author contributor roles.

Position statements

Elsevier is actively involved in discussing the key issues on a range of important issues related to scholarly publishing including open access, open data and open science. We are committed to making our written submissions and statements open and transparent for everyone to read.

How Elsevier adds value to science and researchers’ careers through the publication process

Getting published in a scientific journal is never easy. But the rigors of the review process lead to stronger science and strengthen researchers’ networks.

Prof Robert Aldridge, Professor of Public Health Data Science at the Institute of Health Informatics of University College London, recalls publishing a paper in The Lancet, the number one journal globally in the general and internal medicine category, measured by citations: “I remember going into the office and meeting with (Editor-in-Chief) Richard Horton and the peer reviewers for one paper. It was brutal, but ultimately it improved it and made it a lot better. It pushed us and got us thinking about the topic in a different way.”

In the competitive world of academia, publishing in an Elsevier journal also helps career researchers build networks. As Dr Liudmila Andreeva, a structural immunologist and biochemist who published a paper in Cell, explains: “I’m a postdoc, and I think all postdocs have the same feeling — we are under extreme pressure because we want to prove that we are worthy as independent scientists. Because my paper was published in Cell, my network just boomed, everybody saw my name and everybody saw my work. That was very rewarding.”
