[Open-access] [open-science] Elsevier: some facts, by Tim Gowers

[Fabiana Kubke]

I would argue that Nature and Science profits should be considered
separately from other types of journals. A large volume of their content is
not original research articles but rather commentaries and opinion pieces -
so in a way they are half a research article journal and half the
equivalent of something like the TImes Higher Education. Remove all the
research articles and I would still subscribe to the journal as I do for
THE. I am not sure that considering the profit of Nature magazine is
comparable to considering the profit margin of say Journal of Comparative
Neurology.
