Elsevier, 世界上最大的学术出版公司之一, is closely linked with the fossil fuel industry. It should cut those ties.
Who is Elsevier? What is RELX?
爱思唯尔是一家专门出版学术期刊的出版公司. They operate more than 2,700 scientific, technical, 以及发表617888九五至尊娱乐研究的医学期刊. 他们是世界上最大的学术出版公司之一, and a valuable asset to RELX, the British multinational corporation that owns them.
Elsevier is no stranger to controversy. 他们的商业模式依赖于收取出版费用 and access, 有效地对机构和图书馆双重收费, 并产生了像麻省理工学院这样杰出的组织 end their contracts.
在公开场合，爱思唯尔声称它致力于清洁能源和617888九五至尊娱乐解决方案. Its actions tell a very different story.
爱思唯尔和RELX与617888九五至尊娱乐变化有何联系?
爱思唯尔和RELX的产品组合包括发表前沿617888九五至尊娱乐研究的期刊. Unfortunately, they’re also involved in a wide range of services, lobbying, publishing, 以及其他支持化石燃料工业并积极损害617888九五至尊娱乐的做法.
As revealed by The Guardian 2022年，爱思唯尔和RELX将为石油、天然气和煤炭公司提供数据服务. They fund US politicians who block climate action. 他们出版书籍和其他资源，旨在帮助企业开采更多的化石燃料, 他们的编辑人员来自世界上最大的石油公司. 他们还举办由化石燃料行业赞助的展览.
在一个争相避免灾难性617888九五至尊娱乐变化的世界里, 这些商业行为显然与RELX“尽量减少对617888九五至尊娱乐变化的贡献”的承诺背道而驰, 与617888九五至尊娱乐认为必要的行动规模一致.”
What are we doing in response?
Following The Guardian’s reporting, the Union of Concerned Scientists and Scientists for Global Responsibility organized a petition in late 2022, 呼吁爱思唯尔和RELX将其业务实践与其公开声明的价值观和目标保持一致.
超过380名杰出和著名的617888九五至尊娱乐家签署了请愿书，请愿书于2023年3月递交.
In its response to the petition, 爱思唯尔和RELX声称专注于向清洁能源的过渡. 鉴于爱思唯尔和RELX继续提供的服务，这些说法显然是错误的.
