About Our Team

Elsevier's Academic & Government (A&G) group helps our communities establish, discover, and share knowledge in an effort to advance human progress. We do this by turning scientific discoveries into peer-reviewed knowledge, hosting the world's richest corpus of research content, enabling users to unlock insights from information, and measuring the quality and impact of research.

Within the A&G Marketing organization, the Researcher & Library (R&L) Audience team is responsible for driving awareness, adoption, and engagement across Elsevier's researcher solutions portfolio.
