Subject: [Vo]:Scientists protest the high cost of journals


See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cost_of_Knowledge

I found this in a comment in the New York Times, QUOTE:

"As an academic, I shed no tears for publishers. In the sciences, publishers 
add little to no value, passing on all the work from writing, refereeing, 
editing and even typesetting to the scientific community. They then reap huge 
profits by "bundling" journals back to the academic community.

Please Amazon, could you break Elsevier's back too?"


This is an article about Amazon versus publishers:
