Elsevier Tries to Rig Recommendation System in Amazon
This week, it was reported that someone at Elsevier had concocted a plan whereby professors who had adopted a clinical psychology textbook would be encouraged to write positive reviews of the book on Amazon; in return, those professors would receive a $25 Amazon gift card. Read Scott Jaschik’s piece on this in Inside Higher Ed for more details.
