Sorry to barge in here, but the TSK piece on the Mendeley/Elsevier deal
needs to be put in the right context, specifically the context of that post
being written by an avowed enemy of open access who has spent the past
several years attacking PLOS, Mendeley, eLife, PeerJ, Science Exchange, and
essentially everything with a whiff of innovation about it.

 if you're looking for good perspectives on the Mendeley/Elsevier deal, I
recommend these:

Here's the official announcements:

http://elsevierconnect.com/elsevier-welcomes-mendeley/

A follow-up post from Victor, Mendeley co-founder:
