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
Among those authors who published with Elsevier are Galileo, Erasmus, Descartes, Alexander Fleming, Julius Verne
Keeping to the tradition of publishing established by Lowys Elzevir, Jacobus George Robbers established the modern Elsevier Company in 1880

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.

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

Nanotoday – from magazine to short reviews journal
From January 2009 a new format for this publication
Already within 3 years of launch it has achieved an impact factor of 5.9
Enthusiastic Editor- in – Chief: Jackie Ying Associate professor of chemical eng at
MIT; executive of Institute of Bioengineering and nanotechnology at Singapore Biopolis
Short reviews basis for future + Nanotoday conferences beginning next August in Singapore

From Jackie Ying’s editorial…. The new journal…Rapid publishing
Nano Today is also undergoing a major transformation. In 2009, the magazine will move to a traditional journal format as Nano Today: An International Rapid Reviews Journal. The journal will provide a peer-reviewed forum for the publication of authoritative review articles, rapid communications, news and opinions to shape and define the frontiers of nanoscience and nanotechnology through their multidisciplinary applications. The journal aims to cover cutting-edge research with a rapid publication time of 4–6 weeks.
We are delighted that Nano Today has received its first impact factor of 5.929 in the Thompson Reuters Journal Citation Reports for 2007. We look forward to your support of the journal, and call for your submission of review articles and short communications in the following areas:
• Synthesis and Self-Assembly of Nanostructured Materials and Films • Functionalization and Size-Dependent Properties of Nanocrystals, Quantum Dots and
Nanowires • Processing and Templating of Nanotubes and Nanoporous Materials • Tailoring of Polymeric Nanoparticles, Organic-Inorganic Nanocomposites and
Biohybrids • Fabrication of Nano and Micro Electro Mechanical Systems • Design and Engineering of Structural and Functional Nanomaterials • Nanosystems for Biological, Medical, Chemical, Catalytic, Energy and Environmental
Applications • Nanodevices for Electronic, Photonic, Magnetic, Imaging, Diagnostic and Sensor
