Summary:

" ... This was apparently not well known in Germany: A few days ago the scientist network remote Academia.edu if requested by the scientific publisher Elsevier products from its server, the authors had made ​​as Acadamia users there in Open Access. Elsevier's approach is logical, as the open access policy of the house allows for the making available of works in publishing the final author version only on institutional Open Access servers, but not on inter-institutional platforms such as Academia.edu. Neither on insitutionellen, nor on institutional servers allowed Elsevier way its authors, paginated and layout provided with final versions of Open Access publishing provide. Who had cast as an author against these requirements by a publication published by Elsevier a text, which went to a cancellation information, such as that received by the author and Academia users Leonard Guy and via Twitter shared with the world . Academia.eu made ​​affected authors on the Elsevier boycott attentive, anyone can sign who will not act as an author, reviewer or editor for this publisher. The website for the boycott call will be accessible at thecostofknowledge.com . The call was, since January 2012 signed with state 12/10/2013 by stately 14,172 scientists who now probably not predominantly had confronted with a deletion message itself. Although it is known that publishers isolated server operators to deletions of documents where these no rights to public disclosure, pause, Elsevier on Academia.edu-targeting Takedown request but is so far the biggest operation of its kind questionable are now two things On the one hand, if one approaches with similar deletion requests to other social networks for scientists who also offer the ability to make documents open access available, such as ResearchGate or of  acquired Elsevier himself in April network  Mendeley . On the other hand, whether its by Elsevier drawn boycotts and debatable practices affected call not further damaged by this action and its content producers, the scientific authors visibly upset. This week was at least the Nobel Prize-winner known Randy Schekman , including not more highly renowned in the Elsevier journal Cell to be published. However, affected by shek Mans boycott, other publishing activities such as Science or Nature . For the open access journal eLife , however, the scientist acts as publisher."
