![]() ![]() But as the list above shows, such examples are very much the exception rather than the rule, so the basic question remains: why do we allow ourselves to be messed about to this extraordinary extent, when one would have thought that nothing would be easier than to do without them?Ī possible explanation is that to do something about the situation requires coordinated action. ![]() A famous (and not unique) example where we did so was the resignation of the entire editorial board of Topology and the founding of The Journal of Topology - the story is told briefly here. Why can’t we just tell Elsevier that we no longer wish to publish with them? After all, mathematicians (and other scientists) have been complaining about it for a long time. It might seem inexplicable that this situation has been allowed to continue. I could carry on, but I’ll leave it there. They also supported SOPA and PIPA and lobbied strongly for them. Elsevier supports many of the measures, such as the Research Works Act, that attempt to stop the move to open access. If libraries attempt to negotiate better deals, Elsevier is ruthless about cutting off access to all their journals.Ĥ. (The journal Chaos, Solitons and Fractals is a notorious example of a journal that is regarded as a joke by many mathematicians, but which libraries all round the world must nevertheless subscribe to.) Given that libraries have limited budgets, this often means that they cannot subscribe to journals that they would much rather subscribe to, so it is not just libraries that are harmed, but other publishers, which is of course part of the motivation for the scheme.ģ. So if some Elsevier journals in the “bundle” are indispensable to a library, that library is forced to subscribe at very high subscription rates to a large number of journals, across all the sciences, many of which they do not want. One method that they have for getting away with it is a practice known as “bundling”, where instead of giving libraries the choice of which journals they want to subscribe to, they offer them the choice between a large collection of journals (chosen by them) or nothing at all. It charges very high prices - so far above the average that it seems quite extraordinary that they can get away with it.Ģ. ![]() Let me briefly summarize these criticisms.ġ. For many years, it has also been heavily criticized for its business practices. I apply this glue to upper (wore out when doing flip tricks) and lateral side of toe cap of this shoes (wore out when doing ollie tricks), and also to outsole of shoes.The Dutch publisher Elsevier publishes many of the world’s best known mathematics journals, including Advances in Mathematics, Comptes Rendus, Discrete Mathematics, The European Journal of Combinatorics, Historia Mathematica, Journal of Algebra, Journal of Approximation Theory, Journal of Combinatorics Series A, Journal of Functional Analysis, Journal of Geometry and Physics, Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, Journal of Number Theory, Topology, and Topology and its Applications. When you increase life time and avoid quickly wear out this shoes I recommend used Allstargum glue since the beginning of the use of shoes. I subjectively think that outsole with full coverage S-Trac tread are wore out really quickly and it loses grip (adhesion). Insole isn't removable, but it is molded by your foot. Wide flat laces are durable too and shape of this shoes are designed so as avoid tear laces (increase life time of laces). ![]() Double layered lateral side toe cap of vulcanized outsole with grid pattern for best adhesion to skateboard grip tape. Yes it's true, that triple-stitched and double-layered suede toe cap is durable and protect toe cap from the quickly wear out. I subjectively recommended this material for upper of shoes. This shoe model consists of upper suede for really best adhesion and abrasion durability. ![]()
