In a pioneering collaboration, Cactus Communications (CACTUS), a leading science communication and technology company, has joined forces with Elsevier, a global scientific publishing powerhouse. The alliance aims to make over 19 million research article abstracts from Elsevier accessible to the global research community through R Discovery, the top-rated research discovery and reading app.
This strategic content partnership marks a significant milestone in the collective mission of CACTUS and Elsevier to enhance global access to research. The integration of Elsevier's extensive research content into R Discovery will notably augment the app's already vast research database, comprising over 115 million research articles, including 40 million open access articles, spanning 9.5 million topics and encompassing over 32,000 journals. This positions R Discovery as the premier mobile app hosting Elsevier's high-impact research abstracts, providing a centralized hub for individuals seeking to explore and engage with quality research.
Abhishek Goel, Co-founder and CEO of CACTUS, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "At CACTUS, we are deeply committed to accelerating the research discovery journey for scholars globally through R Discovery. The partnership with Elsevier reflects our continued dedication to providing a robust, user-friendly platform that significantly enhances researchers’ access to knowledge, thereby advancing their research journey."
