Good summary of how much influence #Elsevier has on the entire academic ecosystem:
fediscience.org/@WiseWoman/113…

"Publishing is no longer the main focus for RELX and its competitors; instead, they have become data brokers. They sell data to insurance companies for risk analysis, to banks for fraud detection, to universities to assess their performance, and, especially egregious, to the US Immigration Service to target illegal immigrants. "


(RELX is the parent company of Elsevier)
Thank you @WiseWoman for sharing!

When @DickHardt, founder and CEO of hello.coop joined the fediverse, he couldn’t find the news he cared about. So he launched press.coop, and created accounts mirroring the X or RSS feeds of sites he or others from the community wanted to follow. Some accounts got thousands of followers. When our publishers joined the fediverse, Dick and team decided that these publisher-owned accounts might be a more direct way for people to connect with the publisher and their content. So over the next week nearly 100 press.coop accounts will be migrated to official publisher Flipboard.com accounts. If you’re already following a press.coop account, you’ll automatically follow the new one, and there’s no need to do anything. Here’s the full list:

We moved to Mastodon late in 2022, and quickly became big fans. This is one of the reasons we set up #FediBookFair, to help #authors and #publishers to market their books.

We've also set up a Mastodon server for #IndieAuthors. If you know an author that would like to be here but thinks it's too complex, give them our details. We'll help them get set up - for free.

Invite link for our server: social.authorhelp.uk/invite/7z…
