Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, and Qatar University Research Office have announced the winners of the Qatar University Scientists 2015 Scopus Awards.

The awards ceremony, held last week at Qatar University, Doha, was attended by more than 40 guests representing Qatar’s top scientific community.
