Boycott Elsevier!

If you want to publish a scientific article, do not do any business whatsoever with the publisher Elsevier! They will do everything to make the publishing process long and tedious, won’t add any value to your work (rather the opposite), and ask libraries to pay a huge amount of money to be able to distribute your research. They don’t care at all for science, their main goal is to make financial profit. Boycott Elsevier!

What follows are my experiences about publishing a journal article in one of Elsevier’s journals. It was absolutely ridiculous.
