Elsevier is a world-leading provider of information solutions that enhance the performance of science, health, and technology professionals.

All knowledge begins as uncommon—unrecognized, undervalued, and sometimes unaccepted. But with the right perspective, the uncommon can become the exceptional.

That’s why Elsevier is dedicated to making uncommon knowledge, common—through validation, integration, and connection. Between our carefully-curated information databases, smart social networks, intelligent search tools, and thousands of scholarly books and journals, we have a great responsibility and relentless passion for making information actionable.

Let’s celebrate the unsung, the unseen, and the as yet unknown. Let’s celebrate Uncommon Knowledge.

Elsevier. Empowering Uncommon Knowledge.

Our customers are doing momentous things, and we are uniquely positioned to show our customers the ‘art of the possible’.

For more than 130 years we have shared their commitment to transforming and advancing science, health and technology. We understand the worlds in which clinicians, educators, and academic and corporate researchers work, the outcomes they want to achieve and the challenges they face in achieving them.

We have a responsibility to use that understanding to create highly effective solutions that enable our customers to leverage the vast potential of information to advance science, health and technology in ways that they could not do alone, and to anticipate the new ways customers will want to use information in the future. That is what we mean by ‘leading the way’.
