For the rest of us, what is the TLDR of what Elsevier is?

They're a large publisher of scientific journals, who have repeatedly been caught behaving unethically.

Note that don't own the most prestigious journals, like Science, Nature, or New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

They publish Cell, which has a high impact factor. And a lot of their other ones have high IFs: https://www.elsevier.com/about/press-releases/research-and-j...

Thank you.
