Elsevier baut weiter an einer Wissenschaftslandschaft komplett aus einer Hand. Nun geht man in den Bereich Pre-Print und kauft das Social Science Research Network (SSRN). Dazu in den Nature-News:

It is paying an undisclosed sum for the Social Science Research Network (SSRN), one of the world’s most popular repositories of research in economics, law and the social sciences.
