Elsevier Going After Authors Sharing Their Own Papers

Posted by Soulskill on from the a-peer-reviewed-study-of-face-meeting-palm dept.

Academia.edu has told several researchers that Elsevier 'is currently upping the ante in its opposition to academics sharing their own papers online.' This is the sounds of a boycott biting."

    Ok, so who would a company that designs and builds things (software companies, architectural firms, mechanical design companies, etc) "lease" the copyright from...?

    To quote the post of MickyTheIdiot that you responded to, "they should be legally limited to leasing copyrights from real persons."

    If the point of your post was to demonstrate your lack of reading skills, you've succeeded. If your post has some other point, I'm afraid you're going to have to explain it.
