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

Finger hovering over tablet

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.
