This site is devoted to copyright and issues of 'intellectual property,' particularly the issue's analytical aspects. It also concerns itself with the gap between public perception and the true facts, and with the significant lag time between the coverage on more technical sites and the mainstream press.

From the Elsevier Reviewer's Packet:
"Elsevier shares the view of many that all scholars who wish to contribute to publications have an obligation to do a fair share of reviewing."

I don't disagree necessarily, but it seems a bit self-serving coming from one of the major publishers of toll-access journals--journals built by academics who seek to publish in them, academics who provide free labor in reviewing for them, and academic libraries who purchase them.
