ERS prevents Elsevier/SCOPUS from listing JERSY

22-06-2017

European Royal Society has successfully prevented Elsevier publishing corporation from listing JERSY in their SCOPUS database.

Such listing would violate our policies since Elsevier and its project SCOPUS actively support/enable so-called Impact Factor schemes that by definition prevent paradigm challenges/shifts.

ERS will continue monitoring the activities of monopolist structures within scientific communities.
