This is claiming that research is all controlled by the same corporations.

Researchers looked at scientific literature publised between 1973 - 2013 and found that companies ACS, Reed Elsevier, Sage, Taylor & Francis, Springer, Wiley-Blackwell controlled nearly every single one.

Can someone explain or debunk this?
