- robg 18y agoWow - link? Are they publicly traded?
- michael_nielsen 18y agoI dug this out of Reed-Elsevier's last financial report, for a book I'm writing. Reed-Elsevier is Elsevier's parent company, and is publicly traded. I don't have the reference immediately to hand (found it several months back), but I started with Google. It took me quite a bit of time to track down.

- michael_nielsen 18y agoNo, Springer-Verlag is a separate journal publisher.
