> 3c. The business model is always selling subscriptions to libraries, mostly university libraries (but also regular ones and research outfits in industry) The main criticism I read about Elsevier is that universities can’t subscribe to just the most important Elsevier publications but have to subscribe to a big package while the content producers aren’t paid by Elsevier but work at the universities. This only works, because Elsevier is a monopoly and this is the reason why science hub is a thing.
