Boycott Elsevier!

abernard102@gmail.com 2012-08-20

Summary:

“If you’re in academia and haven’t done so yet, please take a moment to sign this online petition organized by Tyler Neylon, and pledge that you won’t publish, referee, or do editorial work for any Elsevier journals.  I’ve been boycotting Elsevier... since 2004... Sure, Elsevier is huge and we’re tiny, but the fight against them is finally gathering steam (possibly because of Elsevier’s support for the ‘Research Works Act’), years after the case against them became inarguable... For more information, see this wonderful recent post by Fields medalist and Shtetl-Optimized commenter Timothy Gowers, entitled ‘Elsevier — my part in its downfall...’”
