".....Almost 11,000 researchers
have signed up to a boycott of journals owned by the huge academic publisher Elsevier. Subscriptions to the thousands of research journals can cost a big university library millions of pounds each year – costs that have started to bite as budgets are squeezed. Harvard University, frustrated by the rising costs of journal subscriptions,
recently encouraged its faculty members to make their research freely available through open access journals and to resign from publications that keep articles behind paywalls."
