The science-publishing giant Elsevier pulled its support on Monday from
the controversial Research Works Act, hours before the bill's co-sponsors
in the U.S. House of Representatives declared the legislation dead.
.
The bill, HR 3699, would have prevented agencies of the federal government
from requiring public access to federally subsidized research. In a
statement released on Monday morning, the publisher reiterated its
opposition to government mandates even as it backed away from the bill. On
Monday afternoon, the bill's co-sponsors, Rep. Darrell Issa, a Republican
of California, and Rep. Carolyn Maloney, a Democrat of New York, issued a
statement of their own saying that they would not push for action on the
bill after all.
.
"As the costs of publishing continue to be driven down by new technology,
we will continue to see a growth in open-access publishers. This new and
innovative model appears to be the wave of the future," the Issa-Maloney
statement said. "The American people deserve to have access to research
for which they have paid. This conversation needs to continue, and we have
come to the conclusion that the Research Works Act has exhausted the
useful role it can play in the debate."
.
Before the news broke that the bill was dead, open-access advocates
credited a growing scholarly boycott of Elsevier for the publisher's
change of course. But Elsevier said its shift on the legislation was a
response to feedback from the scholars who continue to work with it.

More than 7,400 scholars so far have signed an online petition, the Cost
of Knowledge, inspired by the mathematician Timothy Gowers and organized
by Tyler Neylon....
