Yes, it has become less useful. I also read that they only server as a distributor, and that the review process was scaled down, or is nothing from their end. It really is a shame, since most of the research I do is for self-teaching, and sometimes whimsical, so I would never pay to start with. However, I have gone on from the whimsical to the serious, because I did read a free paper.
- gh02t 11y agoIt's been a while since I've put anything in an Elsevier journal, but iirc they still do the review. They just organize it though, basically the way it works is that they have a pool of reviewers who are known field experts that they choose from. Reviewers are not paid though, so ithat doesn't cost them much. It used to be that they put a lot more effort into editing and typesetting for print, but they don't do nearly as much nowadays. You just send them your TeX file and if something is wrong they tell you to fix it.
