this is about preprint policy, not really rejection

"Elsevier guarantees each PJA [published journal article]’s authenticity, we work with others (e.g. national libraries) to preserve them for posterity and in perpetuity, and we invest to drive their usage." | |
| Jun 2, 2013 at 13:26 | comment | added | cbeleites | @NateEldredge: for sure this seems to be a valid reason. But does it actually work out? IMHO they cannot ensure this is the only way to read the paper: there are inter-library networks, you know your colleagues, email the authors (which are usually allowed to share their manuscripts with colleagues), in some legislations there are rights to share that the author will always retain, etc. My guess is that a large number of these subscriptions is still there by inertia from the paper-journal times. For the electronic subscriptions I see a movement towards e.g. nation-wide access. ... | |
| Jun 2, 2013 at 13:23 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | @cbeleites: Let me rephrase. The journal may believe that the fewer alternative ways there are to read the articles, the more subscriptions they will get. | |

| Jun 1, 2013 at 0:11 | comment | added | bobthejoe | @NateEldredge, to this, I will attest is true. However, essentially the entire field of Chemistry believes in this philosophy and they do have some philosophical differences. | |

| May 29, 2013 at 3:20 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | Other than the obvious reason: if they can ensure the journal is the only way to read the paper, they will get more subscriptions? | |
| May 28, 2013 at 20:56 | comment | added | bobthejoe | This question probably borders the "open-ended" question. I would love suggestions on how to narrow downn the scope. | |
