Cyril Labbé deserves the publishing industry's gratitude for
uncovering this serious problem with two toll-access publishers.
Here's hoping his findings get a more appropriate reception than the
defensiveness, personal attacks, and misrepresentations that greeted
John Bohannon when he exposed a similar problem with 157 OA
publishers.
