conversationYesterday we published a blog at The Conversation on Elsevier’s policy requirements for institutional repositories.

There’s been a lively twitter discussion and thoughtful comments. We welcome feedback there or on twitter or on this site.

One thought on “New policies will lead to “walled gardens” in scholarly publishing”

  1. The recent blog by Bjorn Brembs on “What happens to publishers that don’t maximize their profit?” (http://bjoern.brembs.net/2015/06/what-happens-to-publishers-that-dont-maximize-their-profit/) adds more fuel to the fire. What is really worth a look –once you get past the brief use of “designer-brand handbags” as an interesting metaphor(!)– is the discussion generated in the Comments section. Several future possible publishing models are proposed.
