I think that you knew about it, Owen posted back at the beginning of 2012: Timothy Gowers the Fields medalist mathematician has a recent post on Elsevier and a growing movement to boycott their use http://gowers.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/elsevier-my-part-in-its-downfall/
This includes not submitting to the VERY MANY math journals owned by Elsevier: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/P11.cws_home/mathjournals .. or reviewing submissions Timothy Gowers' boycott of Elsevier came up on the list before, it was motivated by Elsevier's support for that very bill, you responded on the thread. That boycott was inspired by the political contributions Elsevier made to buy the passage of the Research Works Act. Most of the rest of the thread, which you participated in, discussed the costs of publishing without ever mentioning Elsevier's lobbying costs. -- rec -- On Sun, Dec 29, 2013 at 8:30 PM, Nick Thompson <[email protected]>wrote: > JeeeZ.
