Transparency alternatives to Pure Elsevier
Other Research administration vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Pure Elsevier. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 26 that differ from Pure Elsevier on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Pure Elsevier has 7 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Status page with history, Public pricing, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, Notice before subprocessors change. The column “Found there, not found at Pure Elsevier” is the one that closes them.
