Submit your entry to the Elsevier Innovation Award!

Do you like thinking out of the box? And do you have a great idea you think could change the way the Physics community presents their research? Continue reading!

We’re looking for innovative ideas that will either support new content/file types, or link to a supplementary information, aid use and understanding of content that already exists on ScienceDirect, or do something else you feel has potential to support authors in presenting their research or to enrich the reader’s experience. The sky is the limit!

Whether you’re a researcher, professional, student or enthusiast in Physics, we want to hear your idea! The winner will receive "Big Bang Theory Season 1-8". We are always looking for innovations in the way we communicate and enrich online articles. And we will be happy to work with the winner to explore if we can develop his or her idea further. To get an idea of our existing innovations, please visit www.elsevier.com/about/content-innovation.

The Physics Innovation Award is a competition inviting the Physics communities to come up with original ideas for innovative web-based tools to enrich the online article. The aim is to generate ideas that will support the Physics communities by:

  • Helping authors to present their work in exciting ways retaining rich data and presentation formats.
  • Allowing readers to get more from articles through creating tools to facilitate understanding and providing additional context critical for thorough understanding.

Innovation ideas could support new content/file types, link to a supplementary information, aid use and understanding of content that already exists on ScienceDirect, or something else… the stars are the limit! To give you some inspiration and get you thinking, please see what we have done so far.

Here a grip from the innovation projects that have been applied in Physics:

Submissions will be open until 25 February 2015, when the ideas will be reviewed by a committee of judges from the community and Elsevier to pick the finalists and overall winner, which will be announced at APS 2015.
