  9. Elsevier’s Major Reference Works help researchers gain essential foundation knowledge and broaden their perspective in new/related areas The Need for Quality, Diverse Content for Academic, Government, and Corporate Researchers • Encyclopedia of Energy, Natural Resource, • and Environmental Economics • Three-Volume Set , April 2013 • Unique perspectives that codify the relationships that exist among three diverse disciplines • Comprehensive Renewable Energy, • 8 Volume set, May 2012 • Unites the many different areas of research and enables users to navigate through the most essential concepts with ease • Full of color charts, illustrations and photographs of real projects and research results from around the world • Encyclopedia of Energy • 6 Volume Set, May 2004 • “Not only does it address the expected scientific and technological areas such as engineering, physics, geology, and environmental science, but it also includes a strong social science component with history, economics, public policy, and sociology…strongly recommended for academic and large public libraries” • - Library Journal, November 2004 Editor-in-Chief Jason Shogren was joint recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize PROSE Award Winner 2012 Best Multivolume Reference/Science For more on major reference works, visit : www.info.sciverse.com/sciencedirect/books/reference-works

  10. In Corporate Researchers’ Words: The contribution of eBooks to Workflow outcomes • "I always use the SciVerse ScienceDirect online books to supplement the information found in journals."- Rogério Mesquita de Carvalho Researcher, Petrobras - CENPES Petroleum Research Company • “For me, online books contributed to the accelerated research and application in digital environment.” • Juan Carlos De Jesus, R&D Advanced Specialist, PDVSA Intevep • “Differences between historical and the most up-to-date approaches. Plus the ability to have analytical formulations for properties that previously existed only in tabular form.” • -Brian Moore, Engineering Management • “The fuzzy concepts became clear to me, as a result, I can go ahead with the remaining work.” • – Lan Shang, Engineer Data Source: 2011 Akel Agency Research Study: Corporate Markets

  11. How Online Access Drives Efficiency SciVerseScienceDirect is the most preferred publisher platform among Energy professionals and researchers who need both book & journal content “Wide range of references.” Energy researchers share their opinions: “Most available and reliable content.” “Prestige and experience in the articles and journals.” “It's a complete database in my field. “Availability and wide range of papers” Data Source: 2012 Elsevier survey of 152 researchers in Energy
