Rear Vision explores why the world of scholarly communication has become so divided over the control, access and cost of knowledge.
The outsourcing of the production of the Medical journal of Australia has divided medical researchers because of the sacking of the editor in chief, Professor Stephen Leeder.
At the centre of the controversy is multinational Elsevier Publishing. Elsevier is one of the big four global publishers that dominate the STM industry- Science, Technology and Medical publishing.
