Note while Elsevier has a large NUMBER of journals, they do not publish many of the the most prestegious and respected journals. (of top 7 or so medical journals, only Lancet is an Elsevier journal) This is true in related scientific disciplines as well. Ed,

Would be interesting to look at some other factors - such as impact factor per paper over a similar time period to see if the quality of their research is also improving, or just the volume. I guess we'll have to wait on Thomson/Reuters for that data... They key seems to be wrong on the graph, but anyway - very interesting.
