STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that fifty titles from the Elsevier Doyma Spanish Medical Collection are available on ScienceDirect, its online scientific research platform. Doyma, a Spanish language medical publisher acquired by Elsevier in 2005, publishes about 5,000 high quality papers every year. The inclusion of Elsevier Doyma titles on ScienceDirect will allow more researchers across the world to access these articles.
So far, the Elsevier Doyma collection has only been available through http://www.doyma.es and http://www.elsevierinstituciones.com. The narrow distribution as well as Spanish language nature of these platforms has limited access to this information. The thousands of authors represented in the Elsevier Doyma collection will now benefit from greater market visibility, increasing the potential for research collaboration and recognition. In addition, many of the articles will now include English abstracts benefiting non-Spanish speaking researchers.
The addition of the Spanish Medical Collection follows the successful launch of Elsevier's Masson French Medical titles early in 2008 and contributes to the evolution of the ScienceDirect platform into a comprehensive and complete source of global scientific knowledge.
