Publishers assert ownership rights over academic papers, eliminating the need for author consent.
The claim suggests a legal framework where authors relinquish rights upon submission to publishers.
This stance raises ethical concerns regarding authors' rights and control over their work.
Such policies may influence the relationship between scholars and publishing companies.

Implication

A letter reveals that publishing rights are held by publishers, indicating no consent is required from authors.

Abstract

Straight from Elesevier's own mouth, in a letter sent by a "Customer Experience Champion" in response to Professor Iris Van Rooij's enquiry: Rights of papers are owned by the publishers hence, there is no consent needed from authors.
