[Irtalk] Friday at Elseviergate: I reply to their “journey” explanation and give another example of serious failure « petermr's blog

[Hilton Gibson]

Elsevier’s VP of Product Management, Platform and Content (VPPMPC) and
Director of Access and Policy  (DoAP) have published a statement “Open
access – the systems journey” about their misselling of rights. They say
nothing about the continuing problem of APC-paid articles wrongly behind
firewalls. On reading this you might be tempted to have some sympathy for
Elsevier. That’s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome where the
captured or oppressed are tempted to bond with their oppressors. The fact
that Elsevier staff are publicly visible supports the Syndrome – that’s why
I refer to them by their formal position.
