Elsevier Journals Honored at SLA
Elsevier has been awarded the "The Most Influential Publisher of
the Last 100 Years in BioMedicine and the Life Sciences" at the
Special Library Association's (SLA) Centennial conference on
Tuesday, June 16th in Washington DC. Twenty journals published
by Elsevier, many on behalf of renowned societies, were also
selected as the SLA's Top 100 Journals in Biology and Medicine:

In 2008, DBIO convened an international panel of nine eminent
subject experts to compile a ballot for an electronic poll of SLA
members concerning the most influential publisher and the 100
most influential journals
(http://units.sla.org/division/dbio/publications/resources/dbio100.html)
of biology and medicine over the past century of SLA's existence.
"Elsevier won as the most influential publisher of the last 100
years because time and time again it has been brave, bold, and
collaborative," remarked Tony Stankus, Director, BioMedical &
Life Sciences Division at the Special Libraries Association,
"Whenever Elsevier saw real value, they went after it boldly.
Elsevier's acquisition of the Cell Press titles and the Lancet
are living proof that important titles are well worth buying and
building upon. Elsevier knows how to develop a working
relationship with scientific and clinical societies. It is my
sincere hope that Elsevier continues to be brave, bold, and
collaborative as it works with libraries in these economically
challenging, yet scientifically exciting and clinically promising
times."
"While Elsevier is greatly honored to be recognized by the SLA,
we see the publisher's role as that of a long term supporting
actor to the researchers. They are the ones who make the
discoveries that advance science and bring journals to life as
authors, editors, and reviewers," remarked Youngsuk "Y.S." Chi,
Vice Chairman at Elsevier, who accepted the honor at the June
16th award ceremony.
