About ScienceDirect
ScienceDirect is Elsevier’s platform for scientific and medical research, offering access to journals and books across physical sciences, life sciences and social sciences. Working with research literature connects an initial question with the publications used to explore it. Readers can investigate a focused topic or broaden their reading, bringing the arguments and methods of scholarly work into their own study process.
Journals and Research Books
ScienceDirect brings journal and book content together across physical sciences, life sciences and social sciences. Its publication range connects focused article reading with longer works, giving academic research a setting that includes several forms of scholarly material.
Scientific and Medical Literature
The platform focuses on scientific and medical research alongside other scholarly subjects. Readers can explore published investigations and explanatory material, connecting a topic of interest with the literature used to develop knowledge within an academic discipline.
Research and Specialist Reading
The service serves students, researchers and professionals working with scholarly publications. Its combination of journals and books connects individual research questions with a broader reading environment, supporting exploration of both specialised investigations and wider subject knowledge. A literature resource serves several stages of academic reading, from discovering a subject to investigating a specialised question. Publications provide a way to explore how different researchers approach related ideas and communicate their work.
