Reed forced to bite the free access bullet
From the article, “Reed Elsevier chief executive Crispin Davis issued a robust defence yesterday of the media group’s scientific publishing arm as it faces a growing threat from free access internet sites…Mr Davis said the rival business model accounted for only 1% of the market and had not proved its viability. He added that, by limiting itself to online publishing, open access excluded 30% of global institutions using scientific research.” Thanks to LISNews for the tip.
