ReLx

RELX is a multinational information and analytics company that provides data-driven decision tools to professional markets. It operates through three main business areas: Science, which includes Elsevier’s scientific publishing and digital platforms; Risk Solutions, which provides data analytics and decision tools for insurance, financial services and other industries; and Legal, which includes LexisNexis research and information services.

The company traces its origins to the 1993 merger of Reed International and Elsevier to form Reed Elsevier. It expanded through acquisitions and digital products. In the 2010s it adopted the RELX branding and later reorganized as RELX Group. It operates as separate legal entities RELX PLC and RELX NV, listed on major European exchanges, with a dual-listed structure on the London and Amsterdam markets.

Elsevier publishes thousands of journals and books and operates online platforms such as ScienceDirect and Scopus; LexisNexis provides legal research and risk management tools; Risk Solutions offers analytics for fraud detection, credit risk, and compliance.

RELX serves customers in more than 100 countries and focuses on digital transformation, recurring revenue, and AI-enabled analytics while maintaining emphasis on information governance and privacy.

The company’s publishing activities, particularly Elsevier, have faced discussions about access and pricing in academic publishing.
