As an #Academic, do you reject #Elsevier and other for-profit publishers? Do you think they should stop going in the way of free exchange of knowledge?
Or maybe you think Elsevier is not that bad and wonder why people are concerned with them?
In both cases, have a look at this list of researchers pledging to stop supporting Elsevier:

And if you are convinced... add your name to the list :)

21038 Researchers Taking a Stand against #Elsevier. These are some of their objections:
1. Elsevier charges exorbitantly high prices for subscriptions to individual journals.
2. the only realistic option for many libraries is to agree to buy very large "bundles"; Elsevier thus makes huge profits by exploiting the fact that some journals are essential.
3. Elsevier supports measures such as SOPA, PIPA that aim to restrict the free exchange of information.thecostofknowledge.com
