From Dailynous: Lucina Uddin, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles, is the named plaintiff in an antitrust lawsuit against six publishers of academic journals: Elsevier, Wolters Kluwer, Wiley, Sage, Taylor and Francis Group, and Springer. The lawsuit accuses the publishers of collusion in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, stating that they “conspired to unlawfully appropriate billions of dollars that would have otherwise funded scientific research.”

The plaintiff “seeks to recover treble damages, an injunction, and other relief.”
