[GOAL] Scholarly Publishing: Where is Plan B?

[Richard Poynder]

To the intense joy of OA advocates, Elsevier announced Monday that it has
withdrawn its support for the controversial US Research Works Act. 

 

One person who took particular note of the news was Claudio Aspesi, a senior
research analyst at the sell-side research firm Sanford Bernstein. Aspesi
tracks Elsevier for investors, so on Tuesday he published a new report on
the company. 

 

While welcoming Elsevier's decision, Aspesi concluded, "Consensus is still
treating Elsevier's problems as cyclical, in spite of the rising evidence
the issues are deeper".
