Dutch universities start Elsevier boycott — will this be a game changer or will publisher profits remain unaffected?
by Vimal Kumar V. 09 Jul '15

09 Jul '15

*Dear Friends,Led by vice chancellors, Dutch universities have recently announced plans for a country-wide boycott of the academic publisher Elsevier. This boycott has the potential to be a significant game changer in the relationship between the research community and the world’s largest academic publisher. But how will it affect open access momentum in the UK and around the world? Here we have brought together two expert views on the subject. **Danny Kingsley <http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2015/07/08/dutch-universities…>**, the Head of Scholarly Communication at University of Cambridge and **Steven Harnad <http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2015/07/08/dutch-universities…>* *, longtime advocate for open access, share their views on what the Dutch boycott can hope to achieve.Red full article,http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2015/07/08/dutch-universities-boycott-elsevier/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+feedburner%2FLSEImpactBlog+%28LSE+Impact+Blog%29 <http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2015/07/08/dutch-universities…>* *Regards,* -- Vimal Kumar V.
