--- title: 'Hotel Elsevier' permalink: /hotel-elsevier/ date: '2022-12-23T09:55:53-05:00' tags: [reading, post] --- You’ve already heard that Elsevier is evil. That they know this much about you — and that they are selling this data not just to our institutions but to god-knows-who-else — is cause for real, material protest. They may not have a crass loud mouthed billionaire spokesbaby but they’re so, so much worse. Open source, open access alternatives exist. Get them as far out of your life as possible.
