Elsevier's profit margin is 37% from what I can find.

    Disingenuous comparison. We are talking about Elsevier the journal publisher, not the parent conglomerate that also deal with legal, analytics, software and a bunch of other businesses.

      You are confusing net profit margin with operating margin. The 37% figure is operating margin, whereas the net profit margin is 19%. From your link, it looks like the Scientific, Technical & Medical arm has identical margin to the parent corporation.
