Elsevier lobbying UK universities to derail OA archiving

Peter Suber verweist in Elsevier lobbying UK universities to derail OA archiving auf einen Artikel von Zoë Corbyn, Publisher ‚threat‘ to open access, Times Higher Education, June 18, 2009.

An internet posting earlier this month alerted repository managers to Elsevier’s move. „Rumours are spreading that Elsevier staff are approaching UK vice-chancellors and persuading them to point to PDF copies of articles on Elsevier’s web-site rather than have the articles deposited in institutional repositories,“ the memo, on a mailing list operated by the Joint Information Systems Committee, said.
