Elsevier is an academic publishing company that publishes medical and scientific literature, as a "provider of information solutions that enhance the performance of science, health, and technology professionals, empowering them to make better decisions, deliver better care, and sometimes make groundbreaking discoveries that advance the boundaries of knowledge and human progress.

Wikipedia Library access

Elsevier is offering free accounts to its published content online on ScienceDirect to help write Wikipedia content in a great variety of topics, from health to astronomy. To facilitate verification in more specific areas of the encyclopedia, the accounts have been split across three access collections:

• Health & Life Sciences (See the included journals, books,^{[dead link]} incl. includes reference modules in Chemistry and reference modules in Biomedical Sciences.)
• Social & Behavioral Sciences (see the included journals and books^{[dead link]})
• Physical Sciences (see the included journals and books^{[dead link]} incl. reference module in Chemistry and reference module in Earth Systems))

Wikipedia editors may apply for one of these ScienceDirect access collections according to their area of specialty; their account will be valid for a period of one year.
