Dear Friends,
My son sent me the link below to a very strong and very clear article in
the Guardian about the huge fees charged by technical publishers for
access to journals. It represents how I have felt for a long time, how
the math community among others is being outrageously exploited. I feel
it ought to galvanize scientists/mathematicians to react and would like
to suggest reprinting it in e.g. the Notices of the AMS, the Newsletter
of the EMS, the news email from the IMU, etc. The simple response for
mathematicians is to cease submitting any papers to Elsevier or Springer
journals. (Excuse me but I am sending this to a somewhat random sample
of people that occurred to me and whose email address I had -- eg I
don't have an address for Ewing or Friedlander.)
yrs faithfully,
David
