<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The article below (thanks to Colin Steele) is an example of a courageous move that must be supported by the libraries.<br>
<br>
With regard to the <i>Lingua</i> (now <i>Glossa</i>) editorial board, libraries could, for example,<br>
<br>
1. Remove access to<i> Lingua</i> going forward (keep access to archive up to December 31st, 2015) if caught in a Big Deal; remove
<i>Lingua</i> from subscriptions, starting in 2016, if not in a Big Deal<br>
<br>
2. Support <i>Glossa</i> (the new journal) financially,<br>
<br>
3. Promote <i>Glossa</i> widely. ERIH is already classifying the new journal at the level of its current status by arguing that the quality of a journal is linked to the editors and editorial board, and not to the publisher.<br>
<br>
Researchers in linguistics, of course, should boycott Elsevier's <i>Lingua</i> from now on.<br>
<br>
This event also demonstrates the importance for Learned and scientific societies not to sell the title of their journals to publishers. So long as we foolishly evaluate research according to the place where it is published (i.e. a journal title), publishers
will hold a strong trump card.<br>
<br>
Finally, this event displays the incredible behaviour of the multinational, commercial, publishers with particular clarity. These are not the friends of the scientific communication system we need.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

noncompete contracts expire, they plan to start a new open-access journal to be called
