On Elsevier and the University of California - Don't publish in these journals if you want us to read it. : labrats

"I'm currently finishing up my PhD at UC Berkeley. Our university is fighting the good fight against Elsevier. They have a partial monopoly on the academic publishing market, and I'm very supportive of the effort to negotiate the contract.

If you've got any option to avoid the journals on this list, you should. We can't see it in the UC system. Additionally, if these journals felt the impact of Elsevier's reluctance to negotiate, they may put pressure on Elsevier to move towards the UC's position (open access support).
