Editor's Notes

• #13: 12
• #15: E-books have a proven cost saving advantage over print books for academic libraries. This is demonstrated in the industry standard paper by Courant and Nielsen on the lower total cost of ownership of e-books over print books. A special thanks to Tina Chrzastowski for bringing this paper to our attention. The paper is Paul N. Courant and Matthew “Buzzy” Nielsen, On The Cost of Keeping a Book, The Idea of Order: Transforming Research Collections for 21st Century Scholarship. Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), Washington, D.C. It can be ccessed online at: http://www.clir.org/pubs/reports/pub147/pub147.pdf. Courant and Nielsen cite the example of The HathiTrust e-book repository which provides a fully mirrored digital archive of millions of books, with tape backup, for less than $0.15 in fully loaded costs per book per year. Full colour and a third site could increase the cost to as much as $0.40 cents per book per year.

• #20: How does Elsevier continue to deliver World-Class Content—in any delivery? We are committed to the most rigorous publishing cycle and we partner with the most renowned contributors to their fields to ensure top quality content from top quality authors With strict adherence to international peer review, we develop the most trusted book content available (yesterday) and today Here’s a look inside that rigorous publishing cycle. You’ll notice a few things: Our strategy drives the content we publish. What information is missing? Where can we offer better quality products than those currently available? What are YOU asking for? When exploring a potential project, we conduct extensive market research to make sure the end result meets the needs of our end-users. Once an editor is able to sufficiently demonstrate market need and product quality, the project is proposed. We analyze the content that’s currently available on the topic to make sure the project’s worth pursuing. Either it’s needed and doesn’t exist, or we can do better than competition. Value to buyer must be clear Before a project is approved, it’s vetted by marketing and sales Then the book is developed Editors hold authors to deadlines, to make sure the content gets out as fast as possible! Reviewers and technical editors are involved from the beginning Art packages are designed and book is laid out. Our Production department then converts the completed manuscript into the finished product! quality, clarity, readability, and usability are all priorities Production also coordinates file conversion so the finished product will be available on platforms like sciencedirect, kindle, ipad, and other websites and ereaders. Our goal is to publish electronic files at the same time as print! Marketing and Sales go to work to spread the word about new publications while the book is in production. They listen to market feedback and convey it back to editorial The process starts all over again!

• #26: The research process is a production wheel in pursuit of a research breakthrough. Through product innovation on ScienceDirect, we can help accelerate that wheel leading to better outcomes.   Redesigned article 2011 We have redesigned the article home page so that researchers can have a three pane view consisting of the structure, content and context of the article. This brings incredible utility and increased efficiency to the research experience. In fact you could say that it extends the article into a research workspace. Your researchers can quickly assess the relevancy of a ScienceDirect article saving them time. Prototype tests conducted by the Elsevier User Centered Design department show that researchers spend 30% less time on redundant articles than with the previous article design (A design still adhered to by other major STM publishers). Also, by seeing the context of the article in the same view as the content, researchers are 5 times more likely to use helpful features. These include videos, chemical structures, compound names and tabular data. This helps broaden perspective and enrich the research experience. Indirectly, this helps the library achieve increased researcher satisfaction. Smart platform features With features such as Cited By, Related Articles, Related Articles Hover, Volume/Issue Alerts, researchers save valuable time in their search and evaluation process which their can put to other productive uses. Our User-Centered Design team have calculated that using ScienceDirect, researchers save, on average, 50 seconds per usage instance     Key Search Strategies   We have also enhanced the full text article by adding time-saving and insight-increasing search applications to get to core content within the body of the text.
