Elsevier and the UK
Partnering with the UK research community
It’s no secret the UK punches well above its weight in research and innovation, and Elsevier is proud to serve its research community. The UK accounts for just 2.5% of the world’s R&D funding and 4% of the world's researchers, nearly 7% of the world’s research articles and nearly 14% of the most highly cited articles.
Here are a few ways we work together.
Supporting the UK knowledge economy
- Elsevier has helped 56,000+ researchers and 155 academic and government institutions as a data provider and partner for prestigious rankings, customised analytical reports and national assessments.
- Over the past decade, we've partnered with the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) to provide data and analytics on how the UK performs globally.
- In 2021, we supported the UK’s first Knowledge Excellence Framework (KEF), enabling English universities to better understand and improve their performance, and businesses to access the world-class expertise of these institutions.
Supporting higher education
Since 2017, we have supported 7 Centres for Doctoral Training across the UK.
Our gift to Oxford University has enabled them to establish new fellowships for early-career mathematicians.
We work with 20 of the 24 Russell Group Universities, helping them customize our analytics tools to meet their needs.
Through the Elsevier Early Career Researcher UK Awards — in partership with the US-UK Fulbright Commission — we have rewarded 35 researchers for making a significant contribution to their field and society.
