Although slightly tangential to the discussion, I wonder how on earth
the case of the journal Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters would
work out for TDM access.  Rhetorical question, maybe.

It seems to be an interesting case of a journal changing platforms and
access model within a short space of time. It is the official journal
of University of Wroclaw and Polish Society for Cell Biology, and full
text is available freely on their website only for the years 2000-2005
(clicking the abstract icon). Then the OA publisher Versita (acquired
by de Gruyter in 2012) published it 2006-2014, and the Versita pdf
versions are now available on the de Gruyter platform. However during
2015 the journal became toll access on the same de Gruyter site then
in 2016 transferred to Biomed Central, and became OA again. The BMC
site also includes the Versita version of the volumes corresponding to
years 2006-2014 and 2015 is missing.

What kind of licenses would have been employed for articles published in 2015?

thanks
Shirley

It is a step in the right direction - and follows the UK in allowing
text and data mining to content that you have legal access to.  Some
of us think that it, like the UK exception, it doesn’t go quite far
enough.  In the UK it is only non-commercial activity that is allowed;
in the European proposal it is only for organisations “acting in the
public”, so commercial organisations aren’t covered.

But at least it is a step!

Question for European colleagues:  Is this a promising development?

Europe proposes copyright reform to help scientists mine research papers

Long-awaited plan would exempt computer-aided harvesting from EU copyright law.

"The European Commission has announced long-awaited plans to make it
easier for researchers to harvest facts and data from research papers
— by freeing the computer-aided activity from the shackles of
copyright law."
