For the rest of us, what is the TLDR of what Elsevier is?

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsevier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsevier Wasn't that hard, was it?

    The snark isn't doing you any favors.

      I think the snark is more than sufficiently justified in this case.

        As a rule, no. Snark is not civil, and the HN guidelines ask us to be civl: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

      Thus clutter of the grandparent comment wasn't helpful either.

        How deep a chain of "this reply isn't that useful"-replies can we get?

  They're a large publisher of scientific journals, who have repeatedly been caught behaving unethically. Note that don't own the most prestigious journals, like Science, Nature, or New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

    They publish Cell, which has a high impact factor. And a lot of their other ones have high IFs: https://www.elsevier.com/about/press-releases/research-and-journals/elsevier-announces-2013-journal-impact-factor-highlights https://www.elsevier.com/about/press-releases/research-and-j...
