Elsevier is not an individual author but a Dutch publishing company specializing in scientific, technical, and medical content. It is a part of the RELX Group, known for providing information and analytics for professional and business customers across industries. Elsevier publishes a wide range of journals, e-books, and other educational materials for academic institutions, health professionals, and researchers. The name "Elsevier" was originally taken from the Dutch publishing house established by the Elzevir family in the 16th to 17th centuries, which had no connection to the modern company.
