I’ll look.

OK, found this set of dots to connect.
Lancet Journal(s) owned by Elsevier (Dutch).
Elsevier is owned by RELX (Brit).

Wiki: “RELX is a British multinational information and analytics company headquartered in London, England. Its businesses provide scientific, technical and medical information and analytics; legal information and analytics; decision-making tools; and organize exhibitions.
Wiki about Maxwell: “Maxwell had been selling assets to raise money to meet a $750 million debt payment due in October 1992. Maxwell earlier this year sold 49 percent of the Mirror Group of newspapers in a public offering, and sold the publishing house >>> Pergamon Press to Elsevier NV of the Netherlands <<<.

Wiki: “The core company, Butterworth-Springer, started in 1948 to bring the “Springer know-how and techniques of aggressive publishing in science” to Britain. Paul Rosbaud was the man with the knowledge. When Maxwell acquired the company in 1951, Rosbaud held a one-quarter share.[1] They changed the house name to Pergamon Press...”
