Several million scientific articles have vanished before being printed.

3 big publishing houses – Elsevier, Springer, and Wiley – own most of the world’s more than 20,000 academic journals and account for about 42% of all journal articles published. As library budgets in USA and UK have been flat or declining over past several years, journals prices have been rising 5-7% yearly. Do you think this broadens and disperses knowledge, or does it rather reign in and constrain it?
