Welcome to the Elsevier Book Series Page. With almost 60 distinct series, we offer a varied collection of reviews and essays on current research in a particular field or a comprehensive overview of a topic. The series are published regularly, at least once per year, and are highly cited and have a high usage per article. The series articles are similar to journals in content and structure, yet present a more lengthy examination of a subject area than is possible in a traditional journal article. Many articles are able to stand alone and do not need the context of the volume to be meaningful. Our most popular book series cover topics such as economics, microbiology, computer science, genetics, cancer research and biochemistry.
