Elsevier Won't Pay (Any More) for Praise

So. Another lesson in ethics from our favorite academic publisher, Elsevier. "Elsevier officials said Monday that it was a mistake for the publishing giant's marketing division to offer $25 Amazon gift cards to anyone who would give a new textbook five stars in a review posted on Amazon or Barnes & Noble." What they mean, of course, is that it was a mistake to do it in such a way that they would be caught. Scott Jaschik, Inside Higher Ed, June 23, 2009 1:00 p.m.. [Link] 49345 [Previous][Next]
