===Academic journal prices===
Reed Elsevier has been criticised for the high prices of its journals and services, especially those published by Elsevier. It has also supported [[SOPA]], [[Personal Information Protection Act|PIPA]] and the [[Research Works Act]], although it no longer supports the last. Because of this, members of the scientific community have boycotted Elsevier journals. In January 2012, the boycott gained an online pledge and petition ([[The Cost of Knowledge]]) initiated by mathematician and [[Fields medal]]ist Sir [[Timothy Gowers]].<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Testify: The Open Science Movement Catches Fire|url=https://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/01/testify-the-open-science-movement-catches-fire/|access-date=2 February 2012 |magazine=Wired|first=David|last=Dobbs|date=30 January 2012}}</ref> The movement has received support from noted science bloggers, such as biologist [[Jonathan Eisen]].<ref>{{cite web|author=Jop de Vrieze|title=Thousands of Scientists Vow to Boycott Elsevier|url=http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2012/02/thousands-of-scientists-vow-to-b.html|work=Science Magazine|date=1 February 2012|access-date=2 February 2012}}</ref> Between 2012 and February 2023, about 20,500 scientists signed The Cost of Knowledge boycott.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thecostofknowledge.com/|title=The Cost of Knowledge|access-date=15 February 2023}}</ref>
