Research Elements journals
Good for you, good for science.
Elsevier Research Elements is a suite of open access journals focused on objects such as data, methods, software, and hardware.
We contribute to open science and reproducibility by making research objects findable, accessible, and reusable. The high-quality, peer-reviewed articles we publish provide a detailed description that explains the application of your work, and link to the research object and associated original research articles.
Publishing an article on your research object maximizes the impact of your research by giving colleagues the opportunity to download and cite your work, helping them solve complex problems and recording your contribution as a scientific paper.
Make your mark and contribute to open science.
