Nanotechnology publishing for Russia – the perspective for working closer with Elsevier

1. Nanotechnology publishing for Russia – the perspective for working closer with Elsevier Paul Evans, PhD Senior Vice President International Publishing Development

2. Introduction Elsevier has a long history of scientific publishing • 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. About Elsevier • 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 17,000 journals from all key STM publishers. • MD Consult brings the leading medical resources together into one online service to help health professional make better decisions. 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.

7. Some Future Thinking on Innovation: Exploring New Services for Decision Makers – Based on Scopus

8. DIFFERENT ROLES, DIFFERENT NEEDS Elsevier can help through visual display of bibliographic data from Scopus

9. WHY SCOPUS? Broad coverage of STM and Social Science literature • Worldwide coverage: 70% of sources from outside US • 36 m records (70% incl. abstracts) • pre-1996: 18 m records (incl. abstracts) • post-1996: 18 m records (incl. abstracts and ref’s) • >17,300 active titles, incl 15,800 peer-reviewed journals • including 1,200 OA journals • extended conference coverage • 520 serial conference proceedings • >3 m conference papers • 100% coverage of Medline

10. Quality: Overall ScienceDirect (SD) Usage • Key Facts: • One million downloads per day • 2,200 journals • 9 million articles • 10 million scientists have access • >90% of STM scientists have access to >94% of Elsevier content

11. Higher usage: increased productivity – more articles published

12. Russia’s nano publishing – a relative view of output in Scopus registered journals. Main BRIC countries in this field Hence China has over 20% of nano papers and Russia and India each below 5%

13. Elsevier’s publishing of nano-papers and world trend Search in Scopus for keywords “nano* “ Elsevier publishes around 25% of the world’s papers in nano science and technology

14. Elsevier share of Russian papers in nano Hence Elsevier produces about a quarter of Russia’s Nano S&T papers within Scopus registered journals

15. Elsevier’s journals publishing Nano papers • Not all journals are listed as nano journals and many of the higher impact journals predate the nano period. • ISI now has a category of Nanoscience and technology • Often scientists use other terms instead of the nano prefix as this is not always taken seriously • Main base of journals for Elsevier across this sector (defined by scale) is around 90 journals (from materials science, physics, chemistry and life science) • E.g. the journal CARBON… editor Professor Peter Thrower UK, Associate Editor Yuri Gogotsi who is at Drexler in US • Why – a nano journal…??. Impact of carbon nanotubes etc… • Key journal for this topic
