Wouldn't it be
Elsevierum
? You need an accusative, and
–er
nouns tend to be second declension iirc.

Yes, accusative, but I'm not sure how to decline it :-) (apparently it's a Dutch name of Arab/Moorish origin, also spelt Elzevir).

Just occurred to me: We could consider it neutral, and then nominative = accusative...

Beside Reed-Elsevier also Springer, Wiley-Blackwell, Taylor & Francis and Sage.

They're not great, but Elsevier deserves special opprobrium as far as I can tell; just see the longest section in their wikipedia article. They're just so antithetical to what science is about.
