Elsevier on Open Access
Crispin Davis, Chief Executive of Elsevier states the following in a recent article:
"Reed Elsevier faces a potential challenge from a movement to make scientific journals freely available, widely known as the "open access" model. It said there has been "much comment but little market impact".
"There are no real indications at the moment that the market is changing significantly," Davis said. "After five years, 99 percent of our customers are saying they're comfortable with the existing model. If that changes it's up to us to adapt."
