The University of California cancels its subscriptions to Elsevier journals after failing to agree on open access: universityofcalifornia.edu/pre

It should be no surprise that, as a signer of thecostofknowledge.com/, I support this decision.

But this means, among other things, that you shouldn't publish in Elsevier journals if you want UC researchers like me to have easy access to the published versions of your papers.

www.universityofcalifornia.eduUC terminates subscriptions with world’s largest scientific publisher in push for open access to publicly funded researchAs a leader in the global movement toward open access to publicly funded research, the University of California is taking a firm stand by deciding not to renew its subscriptions with Elsevier. Despite months of contract negotiations, Elsevier was unwilling to meet UC’s key goal: securing universal open access to UC research while containing the rapidly escalating costs associated with for-profit journals.

@11011110 partially agree - I try to avoid publishing in or reviewing for Elsevier journal IP&M myself - but of course we should not forget that authors can and will always provide a (usually final) version of their manuscript on their own site, if they care about being read at all.

I was listening to Rationally Speaking where they had a very reasonable debate between a pro-open-access person and a representative from Elsevier. As expected on that podcast, it didn't degenerate into a flame fest, so I can definitely recommend people listen to it.

The person from Elsevier didn't convince me, but at least he tried.
