Alicia,
Just a simple question: under what conditions Elsevier would be willing to change the business modell from subscriptions to OA?

The discussion on this list often seems to me be based on the assumption that scholarly publishers are a wholly negative force in the open access world, and a community to be avoided/undermined/mistrusted at all costs. This feels unwarranted to me – and perhaps other publishers on this list who are not so audacious as to stick their heads over the parapet. So, knowing that positive messages are powerful ways to influence: what positive things are established scholarly publishers doing to facilitate the various visions for open access and future scholarly communications that should be encouraged, celebrated, recognized?

Clause 6 gives special protection against defamation actions to peer reviewed scholarly articles (the first time peer review has figured in a piece of legislation??). This is something that scholarly publishers will no doubt pick up on as an argument against unrefereed green OA. Charles Professor Charles Oppenheim Elsevier Limited.
