In 2014 Elsevier's profit margin was 34% http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/93138f3e-87d6-11e5-90de-f44762bf98...

Wonder what the margin on their e-journals are like, vs printed journals.

They get the research papers for free, the editors don't get paid ... it's such a scam, and always has been.

Well, they do need to employ a highly paid CEO... /s
Yeah and with that setup, 37% seams somehow very low. I wonder what accounting stunts they pull...
