   On top of all their other questionable business activities, leading to boycotts against them by academic institutions in both the EU and US, I just learned that #Elsevier is also trying to censor peer-reviewed science that goes against the PR line of other corporations:

     This really is the last straw. It's already unacceptable that an oligopoly of publishing corporations are making enormous unearned profits from their control of academic journals. But when they start actively sabotaging the integrity of the peer-reviewed literature, it's time for the editorial staff of every corporate-owned journal to quit en masse, and set up new #OpenAccess journals to continue their work as a #CreativeCommons, or even in the #PublicDomain.
