Dissemination, by scientific publishers, of high quality scientific output across the globe is a crucial part of research
In recent years the move from paper to electronic content delivery has drastically changed researchers time-spending
Researchers are able to spend significantly less time on searching for relevant content and at the same time have access to a wider range of content
At the same time the increase of usage clearly positively affects the quantity and quality of scientific output
Comparing macro-economic and demographic data with the uptake of usage and scientific output enables decision-makers to analyze the productivity and efficiency of their investments
Elsevier has invested heavily in the increase of productivity and efficiency of researchers all over the world through the ScienceDirect platform, Scopus and many other highly specialized products
