Case Study: Elsevier Improves Geoscientist Search and Engagement with DOOR3

Elsevier redesigns Geofacets with DOOR3, powering access to 1.75 million geological maps

DOOR3 partnered with Elsevier to redesign Geofacets, a scientific information product for geoscientists. The platform's features and user interface had become outdated and difficult to use over its ten-year lifespan, failing to meet both user expectations and modern brand standards. The challenge was to redesign the product to serve the detailed needs of academics and the solution-oriented needs of corporate engineers, while managing a vast database of content.

The solution from DOOR3 involved a thorough discovery process and user interviews, leading to a simplified global structure and a more personalized experience. They implemented a straightforward search with accessible filters and created an easily viewable results layout to reduce information overload. The redesign aimed to increase user engagement and accelerate exploration research by creating a more efficient and personalized experience for geoscientists.
