Elsevier editorial boards: Government Information Quarterly
Reiterating briefly: Don’t be mean to people just because they’re caught in Elsevier’s web. We want them to do one of three things, on principle:
- Express opposition to SOPA and RWA in an editorial inside the journal, calling upon Elsevier to change its stance and lobbying practices
- Make a public statement opposing Elsevier’s stance on SOPA and RWA, calling attention to it within Elsevier as well
- Leave the editorial board, individually or in a collective declaration of independence, and explain both publicly and privately why
