Elsevier collaborates with the National Research Nuclear University in Russia

Elsevier, a provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, announced its collaboration with National Research Nuclear University (MEPhI) by providing its researchers, faculty members and management with access to Mendeley Institutional Edition (MIE).

MEPhI is one of Russia’s leading institutions for fundamental and applied research in the fields of energy and energy efficiency, medicine, nanosystems and nanomaterials, security and counter-terrorism. MEPhI has a strong focus on growing its high-quality research output, and increasing its global visibility and international collaboration. With access to MIE, MEPhI researchers, faculty members and management can improve research productivity, enhance the global presence of the university and facilitate collaboration across geographic and disciplinary boundaries.

Oleg Nagornov, MEPhI’s First Vice-Rector, said, “At MEPhI we have great expectations of the Mendeley platform. Our researchers will be able to expand their scientific network by connecting with international and multidisciplinary research partners. Mendeley will likely become a tool for attracting young scientists to participate in international projects. This, in turn, will positively impact the university’s brand within the global scientific landscape.”

Charles Pallandt, Elsevier’s Vice President for International Markets, said, “We are honored that MEPhI’s users are the first Russian users to benefit from Mendeley Institutional Edition as a global research collaboration platform. Access to the platform will enable users to benefit from exchanging knowledge while the platform facilitates further networking. This will greatly contribute to MEPhI’s research ambitions.”
