Elsevier is STILL charging for Open Access even after I have told them. Wellcome should take them to court<br>
<br>
Someone needs to take formal action against Elsevier. Like taking them to court. In this case Wellcome.<br>
<br>
<br>
Two days ago I posted <a href="https://blogs.ch.cam.ac.uk/pmr/2014/03/24/today-at-elseviergate-more-potholes-and-bumps-on-the-shared-journey-please-help-us-find-paywalled-openaccess-elsevier/" target="_blank">https://blogs.ch.cam.ac.uk/pmr/2014/03/24/today-at-elseviergate-more-potholes-and-bumps-on-the-shared-journey-please-help-us-find-paywalled-openaccess-elsevier/</a> where  I mentioned an APC-paid Open Access article behind a paywall. In response to this Elsevier lifted the paywall.<br>

<br>
Prompted by a tweed from Ross Mounce I looked again. Now they have put the article back behind the paywall. Requiring non-subscribers to pay for Open Access.  Unethical, Immoral and I suspect a clear breach of contract law.<br>

<br>
<br>
UPDATE: I’ve checked the earlier paywalled Open Access articles and they are not accessible to anyone (“we are experiencing technical difficulties”);<br>
