More on the UK inquiry

The UK House of Commons Science and Technology Committee has released the uncorrected transcript of oral evidence given on March 1 by Robert Campbell (Blackwell), Richard Charkin (Nature Publishing Group), John Jarvis (Wiley), Crispin Davis and Arie Jongejan (both Elsevier). "The transcript is not yet an approved formal record of these proceedings. Any public use of, or reference to the contents should make clear that neither Members nor witnesses have had the opportunity to correct the record. If in doubt as to the propriety of using the transcript, please contact the Clerk to the Committee." (PS: This is important material. It just came out and I'm still looking for the time to read it.)
