* With apologies for cross-posting * Dear Colleagues, I am thrilled to announce <https://www.elsevier.com/about/press-releases/corporate/elsevier-acquires-bepress,-a-leading-service-provider-used-by-academic-institutions-to-showcase-their-research> that bepress is joining Elsevier. This move opens up great potential for bepress and its community of over 500 users. I am especially eager for the opportunity to leverage the resources and expertise of the teams that develop and support Elsevier products. We see possibilities for increased integration with campus systems, and more access to metrics and other data from partners including Plum Analytics, Scopus, and SSRN. Elsevier shares our commitment to keeping what makes bepress bepress, and supporting your open access initiatives. Our staff and office will remain in Berkeley, as will I. We will continue to offer unlimited support, storage, and publishing capabilities. We retain our commitment to keeping control of scholarship within the institution that produced it. By combining bepress’s successful products and model with new resources and expertise, I am looking forward to better serving the academic community’s needs. Sincerely, Jean-Gabriel Jean-Gabriel Bankier Managing Director bepress 510-665-1200 x124 http://www.bepress.com
