German universities take on Dutch publishing giant Elsevier
I used to think that Elsevier et al were just rentiers, and that bringing them down would be a pure win. But I'm not so sure anymore. When money left journalism we saw a big big quality drop. We now have lots of problems with fake news. It makes me think: what if the same thing will happen in science?I guess the affiliation of the researchers will still be there, but it still leaves me a bit uneasy.
