-----Original Message----- From: John Peel [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2000 7:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Monopolies The publishing company Harcourt Brace recently put itself up for sale. Its STM holdings include WB Saunders, Mosby, Churchill Livingstone, MD Consult and Academic Press. The financial press has been reporting that likely purchasers include Wolters Kluwer (owners of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins and Ovid) and Reed Elsevier (owners of everything else). Can anybody direct me to any papers, publications, or other information that address the issue of monopolies and mergers in science publishing and the potential affects on the scientific community please?
