Protecting the health and safety of our people

At Elsevier, we are also working remotely to stay connected with you. To minimize the effects on our employees and the potential to spread the virus, Elsevier has implemented a range of measures for our staff around the world. We have stopped all non-essential travel and asked all our employees to follow hygiene and government recommendations, practice social distancing and self-isolate if feeling unwell.
