[Irtalk] Elsevier are still charging THOUSANDS of pounds for CC-BY articles. IMMORAL, UNETHICAL , maybe even ILLEGAL « petermr's blog

[Hilton Gibson]

SEVEN MONTHS ago I showed that Elsevier “open access” CC-BY papers were
incompetently labelled (see
http://blogs.ch.cam.ac.uk/pmr/2013/08/12/elsevier-charges-to-read-openaccess-articles/and
following blog posts), and under “Rights and Permissions” charging
huge
amounts of money.

THEY ARE STILL DOING IT. Here’s an Open Access CC-BY article labeled as
“All rights reserved” and where you ask permissions they charge 8000 GBP
for 100 reprints.
