Rigorous peer review

When you publish open access with Elsevier, we want to help you at every step of the way to make sure you’re publishing the best work possible. As the very foundation of the scientific validation process, rigorous peer review remains at the core of our approach, so whichever open access journal you choose, you can rely on the same high standards you always get from our expert editors and reviewers.

Our passion for excellence goes some way towards explaining how more than 99% of the Nobel Laureates in science and economics have published in Elsevier journals since 2000 (many have also served as editors and on our Editorial Boards, of course).

Helping authors excel

When you publish with Elsevier, you can expect a helping hand at every stage of your publication journey - even before you begin writing. With the Elsevier Researcher Academy(opens in new tab/window), we provide early career researchers with a wealth of free-to-use resources on a variety of topics (including open access(opens in new tab/window)) and in varous formats. Many come with certificates to recognize your learning efforts. The Researcher Academy also caters for referees with its Certified Peer Review course(opens in new tab/window). Co-created, developed and in part delivered by senior academic editors on leading journals, the course has been specifically designed to give those who have not yet reviewed – or who feel they would like additional training in this area – the skills and confidence to accept a request to review.

Quality journals

From agriculture to psychology, nursing to biochemistry, our extensive body of open access journals spans numerous specialties and tiers of impact.

What's more, our long-standing reputation for rigorous peer-reviewed research means you’re guaranteed a quality publication, whichever open access home you choose for your article.

In 2021, Elsevier’s articles accounted for 18% of global research output and attracted a much higher share of citations, at approximately 28%.
