We partner with the US National Library of Medicine on the Emergency Access Initiative(opens in new tab/window) to provide temporary free access to full-text article to healthcare professionals, librarians, and members of the public affected by disasters. Access was triggered most recently for the Ebola crisis (2014), the Hurricanes Irma, Harvey and Maria (2017), and the earthquakes in Mexico (2017).
For specific emergencies, Elsevier creates dedicated emergency resource centers which provide free access to curated, relevant research. Recent examples include our resource centers on Net Zero and the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). We also gave full access to the Elsevier content on our COVID-19 Information Center for PubMed Central and other public health databases to accelerate the fight against the coronavirus.
