[Irtalk] German University Tells Elsevier 'No Deal' | Science/AAAS | News

[Hilton Gibson]

In the latest skirmish between academia and publishers over the costs of
academic journals, the University of Konstanz in Germany has broken off
negotiations over a new licensing agreement with the scientific publisher
Elsevier. The publisher’s prices are too high, said university Rector
Ulrich Rüdiger in a statement, and the institution “will no longer keep up
with this aggressive pricing policy and will not support such an approach.”
