Dear Colleagues,

I am a new member to this ListServ, so not sure whether this issue was
discussed before (my searches in the archive were not successful).

Sometimes Journals bring out supplementary issues (or special issues)
in addition to their regular issues. What happens if some journal
publishers do not make supplementary issues contents online, and
licenses say that the subscribers have access to the full text “as
published online” in their platforms.

Do you think that the journal publishers should make all the contents
online, especially where people are stopping print subscriptions, and
the licenses say something like this “online access to all the
contents published in print or online”?


With regards,

- Vijay
