The Dutch giant Elsevier, which claims to publish 25% of the scientific papers produced in the world, made profits of more than £900m last year, while UK universities alone spent more than £210m in 2016 to enable researchers to access their own publicly funded research; both figures seem to rise unstoppably despite increasingly desperate efforts to change them.

荷兰巨头爱思唯尔声称出版了全球25%的科学论文，去年盈利超过9亿英镑，而仅英国大学在2016年就花费了超过2.1亿英镑，以使研究人员能够获取他们自己用公共资金资助的研究成果；尽管人们不断努力改变这一现状，但这两个数字似乎仍在不断攀升。
