Elsevier contains many, many journals containing millions of publications with loads of connections to university scholars, researchers, and institutes. They are appealing to me for many reason including the fact that they house robust tools to enable your R&D work including: CAPCAS, ChemVillage, CrossFire Beilstein, CrossFire Gmelin, EngineeringVillage 2, illumin8, PharmaPendium, Scopus
Conducting secondary research isn’t an easy task. Working across various data sources to locate the expertise and landscape technical spaces for problem deconstruction is tedious and not just an act of science, but is an art. I think the science part may be a little lighter with this new development. We’ll see. Elsevier product expansion is something to watch.
