So not to keep beating on a dead horse, but regarding Elsevier. I was looking for a copy of the Lynn (Sagan) Margulispaper from 1967 (On the origin of mitosing cells). This was published in The Journal of Theoretical Biology of course. Science Direct has it available for $39.95. What can possibly justify a price like that? If the money went to her estate that might be one thing, but $39.95 for a nearly fifty year old paper is simply forcing significant scientific research to become inaccessible. They could likely sell a hundred copies at $4 a piece.
