Wikipedia
Elsevier began in 1880 as a publisher of scientific and medical information in print journals and books. Today, the company has evolved into one of the world's leading providers of scientific, technical, and medical information, and a technology company serving over 30 million scientists, health professionals, and students worldwide. It is a part of the RELX Group (known until 2015 as Reed Elsevier). Based in Amsterdam, the company serves customers in over 170 countries.
Leading products include journals such as The Lancet and Cell, the ScienceDirect collection of electronic journals, the Trends and Current Opinion series of journals, and the online citation database Scopus.
Elsevier annually publishes approximately 400,000 articles in 2,500 journals. Its archives contain over 13 million documents and 30,000 e-books. Total yearly downloads amount to 900 million.
In 2015, Elsevier reported a profit margin of approximately 37% on revenues of £2.070billion. Elsevier's high profit margins, and especially its copyright practices, have subjected it to heavy criticism by researchers.
Elsevier is a Dutch weekly news magazine. With a circulation of over 86,000 copies as of 2015, it is the Netherlands' most popular news magazine. Its chief editor is Arendo Joustra.

The magazine is, together with HP/De Tijd, Vrij Nederland and De Groene Amsterdammer, conventionally considered to be one of the most influential written media in the Dutch language area. Views expressed are generally conservative right wing.
