Forwarded from: https://blogs.ch.cam.ac.uk/pmr/2014/03/26/elseviergate-elsevier-is-still-cha rging-for-open-access-even-after-i-have-told-them-wellcome-should-take-them- to-court/ Elseviergate; Elsevier is STILL charging for Open Access even after I have told them. Wellcome should take them to court Someone needs to take formal action against Elsevier. Like taking them to court. In this case Wellcome. Two days ago I posted https://blogs.ch.cam.ac.uk/pmr/2014/03/24/today-at-elseviergate-more-pothole s-and-bumps-on-the-shared-journey-please-help-us-find-paywalled-openaccess-e lsevier/ where I mentioned an APC-paid Open Access article behind a paywall. In response to this Elsevier lifted the paywall. Prompted by a tweed from Ross Mounce I looked again. Now they have put the article back behind the paywall. Requiring non-subscribers to pay for Open Access. Unethical, Immoral and I suspect a clear breach of contract law. UPDATE: I've checked the earlier paywalled Open Access articles and they are not accessible to anyone ("we are experiencing technical difficulties"); Dana L.
