In this position paper on open access publishing released by Elsevier the authors warn of increased prices (per paper view, on an aggregate basis) for British researchers and "challenges to the integrity of STM publishing". Statistically selective and in some cases misleading, this article should only be read hand in hand with Peter Suber's criticism. Writes Suber, "This whole section on how much it costs to publish an CRLFarticle is largely moot. It can't cost the global scientific community any more to publish open access than it does to publish in subscription journals and then pay publishers for their costs, with the generous profit margins on top." Elsevier's paper, naturally, is in PDF.
