Thanks to Phil Davis for posting
this leak about the possibility of an Elsevier/Springer/Wiley-Blackwell mega-merger.
Advice to OA
Advocates: Pay no attention. The merger is of no interest or consequence
for OA, which, as always, depends on one thing and one thing only:
Mandating Green OA
self-archiving on the part of all universities and research funders.
Don't let this take your eye off the ball!
