Royalty FAQs

Royalty payments are made as agreed in your contract. Most of our contracts are either annual (January-December) or semi-annual (January-June and July-December). Annual contracts are generally paid in March each year. Semi-annual contracts are generally paid in either March and September, or April and October.

Elsevier can only pay royalty payments via electronic transfer as it is safe, secure and results in quicker access to your royalty earnings.

Although your acquisition editor remains your primary point of contact with Elsevier, you are welcome to contact the Global Royalty Department with any royalty related questions you may have.
