More About Harvard’s Elsevier Cancellations
This week’s Harvard University Gazette includes an article about Harvard’s decision to eliminate many subscriptions to Elsevier journals and put more effort into developing alternative publishing methods. The article includes quotes from several professors, including one who works with the Public Library of Science, about how many current scholarly publishing practices hurt and hinder scholarly communication.
Addendum: Garrett wrote about the article for Open Access News, a blog about the movement to make scholarly communication available on the Internet with minimal costs and copyright and licensing restrictions.
