This is what needs to happen: all the universities get together and just .. don't negotiate. We do all the work, they pocket the profit. Why play at all?https://twitter.com/GosseVuijk/status/1071690509926785024 …

To clarify, I don’t mean repeat the Netherlands deal. I mean all the universities get together and refuse this hefty profit extraction on the back free academic labor.https://twitter.com/lisalibrarian/status/1071803045607026688 …

Meaning that authors are asked to do even more work for free...

They are also happy to toss the odd Nobel prizewinner under a bus for the sake of a bit of publicity. https://twitter.com/i/moments/856391715313274880 …

In the Netherlands they succeeded to force Elsevier into accepting Open Access by negotiating as a block. Rather than individual universities negotiating, it was the association of universities (together with academic libraries) that negotiated this deal https://www.elsevier.com/about/open-science/open-access/agreements/VSNU-NL …

Yes indeed. To be fair though, of all the
@deVSNU publisher deals it's the one that is the most minimal and sluggish on transitioning to open access. Let's see what the current negotiations for a new deal will bring. - Show replies

This is so damned exhausting. I was a young academic in 1990s during the theft. We knew what was happening. IIRC, boards governing journals didn't deign to respond to doubts and concerns. Typical tenured response: "Oh I know Prof. X on the board, he's a great guy. Don't worry."

When you take public money or a grant, the contract should build in that the product of the research is open access. This is a big assistance to education, which is the University's mission after all, no?
