Elsevier & open-access articles.
I received a newsletter from the publisher Elsevier today.
In the e-mail there is a link to an article on their website: "
Open Access The choice is yours - Open Access options at Elsevier".
Basically, when i click on the subpage "information" it says that when you publish an article at Elsevier, you can pay 3000 $ US so that it becomes available for free to everyone.
So expensive!
For those of you who don't know, there is more than 8000 researchers that have started to boycott Elsevier journals a few days ago:
