Elsevier has a long history of scientific publishing Introduction The Publishing House of Elzevir was first established in 1580 by Lowys (Louis) Elzevir at the University of Leiden, Holland Keeping to the tradition of publishing established by Lowys Elzevir, Jacobus George Robbers established the modern Elsevier Company in 1880 Among those authors who published with Elsevier are Galileo, Erasmus, Descartes, Alexander Fleming, Julius Verne 3
In 1638 Elzevir published Galileo Galilei s greatest work Introduction Galileo published his Discorsi e dimostrazioni matematiche, intorno a due nuove scienze - his last work with Elzevir despite being banned by the Inquisition and is recognized as the first important work of modern physics The publication of Gray s s Anatomy in 1858 was a landmark for the study of the human anatomy and in many ways for the whole of medicine The publication of the book, edited by Sir Alexander Fleming, about a revolutionary new antibiotic, Penicillin: Its Practical Application in 1946 4
Figures About Elsevier Publishing Elsevier publishes 2200 journals (10% of STM) covering 25% of the STM authors market. Through ScienceDirect 10 million scientists and researchers have desktop access to a service offering 9 million journal articles. In 2004, Elsevier launched its new abstract & indexing database, Scopus, which covers over 17,000 journals from all key STM publishers. In 2009 a whole new suit of products is being launched To do this we: Maintain sales in 180+ countries. Employ over 7,000 people in 70 offices in 26 countries of whom 1,150 are based in The Netherlands. 5

Innovation for Researchers (and Consumers) 9
A New Mission Going Forward Former Mission Statement Contribute to the progress and application of science, by delivering superior information products and tools that build insights and enable advancement in research New Mission Statement Provide information and workflow solutions that help institutional decision-makers and researchers create significant value by building insights, enabling advancement and improving research-driven returns-on- investment 10
A First Support Tool For Institutional Decision Makers The SPOTLIGHT helps decision makers in institutions and governments to answer strategic questions about research performance and future directions by revealing previously hidden drivers of institutions and nations competitive positions and strengths. It provides unique value in three areas: 1. Comprehensive, multi-disciplinary and global content, based on Scopus abstracts and citation data. 2. High-quality matching of output by authors and institutions, based on Scopus author and affiliation profiles 3. Intuitive application of article-level l l classification and bibliometric metrics, through partnership with industry leaders (K.Boyak and D.Klavans. 11 Visualization Institution's s Distinctive Competencies 23 10 27 12 29 5 22 18 11 13 19 4 20 28 24 6 8 17 7 2 14 3 1 21 25 26 15 16 9
Visualizing Existing and Emerging Research Clusters Step 1 :Articles cited in 2007 are clustered using co-citation citation analysis Step 2:All articles from past 5 years assigned to the clusters based on references Step 3 :Each cluster is assigned to a discipline and subject area 12 Step 4 :All clusters are placed on the wheel for visualization purposes
A Complete Picture Of Your Institution s Research Strengths Each bubble represents a group of clusters wherein your institution has a distinctive competency Size of the bubble reflects the size of the output in each cluster 13 Position within the circle indicates the interdisciplinary mix
Showing Discipline Growth And Your Relative Position In these research disciplines, which are growing faster than the other disciplines, your institutions holds the number 1 position. Market growth indicates if distinctive competency has higher or lower than average market growth 14 Relative market share reflects your instituton s position vis-à-vis the biggest competitor
Identifying Top Researchers In Growing Disciplines Your institution 15 Top researchers within this discipline who can strengthen your relative position
