Dear list members, With apologies for cross-posting, as always.
Hopefully many of you will find this interesting. Björn Brembs and myself have filed a formal complaint today regarding RELX and the wider scholarly publishing market to the EU competition authority <http://ec.europa.eu/competition/index_en.html>. It is available online <https://zenodo.org/record/1472045#.W9MpE5P7RPa> for anyone to see. This is distinct from the complaint made about Elsevier and the Open Science Monitor, and reflects decades of frustration in this system and an attempt to resolve many of the issues we all know so well. At the present, the content of this complaint can be re-used to suit others who might wish to file similar complaints in their countries, where possible. Wishing you all a good weekend, Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Nomadic Palaeontologist, Rogue Open Scientist; PhD, MEarthSci, MSc* - Founder of *paleorXiv* <https://paleorxiv.org/>, a free digital publishing platform for Palaeontology - Companion Website <https://paleorxiv.github.io/> - Founder of the *Open Science MOOC <https://opensciencemooc.github.io/site/>* - Project development on GitHub <https://github.com/OpenScienceMOOC> - Freelance science communicator and consultant - Author of Excavate!
