The complaint is partisan, no question, but represents to my eye a serious and coherent attempt to make the case for why big journal publishing can be interpreted as importantly marked by anti-competitive practices. The complaint is short, but not negligible, on practical remedies (pp. 20-21). In an environment where rhetoric and posturing often prevail in discussions of the topic, this one was refreshing. I hope that the respondents to this complaint can answer publicly with equal coherence and intelligence.
