💡 Did You Know?

Elsevier publishes roughly 600,000 scientific articles per year — about 18% of global research output. The academic publishing model (researchers provide content for free, institutions pay to access it) has been called one of the most profitable business models ever devised.

📝 Analyst Take

RELX's academic publishing model is a license to print money, controversial as it may be. The analytics pivot is smart and adds genuine value beyond publishing.
