From: "Devine, Elaine" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 12:19:07 +0000 Hi Danny Thank you for your response to the announcement of the partnership with Figshare on Taylor & Francis Online. We have launched this with our Science and Technology lists (specifically environment and agriculture), opening up the supplemental tab so that it is viewable to everyone, whether the article itself is behind the paywall or not (therefore making this supplemental content 'open access', so to speak). This means that the supplemental content is discoverable via search engines and that you do not need to be logged into T&F systems to view it. We are currently looking to do this with other Science and Technology lists, followed by the Social Sciences and Humanities. You can see how the data will be viewed on Figshare here http://tandf.figshare.com/ And on Taylor and Francis Online http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/suppl/10.1080/07391102.2012.742246 I hope this answers your query but don't hesitate to get in touch directly if you want to ask about more specific information.

Will the supplemental material be 'discoverable from search engines' and therefore open access - even if attached to a paywalled paper? I ask this because of the statement: "instantly viewable using the Figshare widget, once readers select the supplemental tab on Taylor & Francis Online" which seems to imply that you need to be logged in (or recognised by) T&F's system. If that is the case the material is not open access. Danny -----Original Message----- From: "Devine, Elaine" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:39:42 +0000 Authors who publish with Taylor & Francis journals will see their supplemental material in a new online format from today, as tables, datasets, filesets, videos and graphs become instantly viewable on Taylor & Francis Online, easily discoverable from search engines and quickly hosted on Figshare. Beginning with some 468 articles across twelve journals on the Taylor & Francis Environment and Agriculture list, this new service will see authors with journal articles currently in production with Taylor & Francis use the Figshare technology to display their supplemental data. Not only will authors see their supplemental material in a much more engaging format (instantly viewable using the Figshare widget, once readers select the supplemental tab on Taylor & Francis Online) but they will also be able to share this material more easily and track usage through Figshare's metric functions. Every file uploaded to Figshare will be easily citable (with a DataCite DOI allocated at the point of publication) and will be stored under a Creative Commons License. For every item on Figshare there will also be a link back to its corresponding article on Taylor & Francis Online, so not only is the supplemental content more discoverable, so is the article. Figshare launched on Taylor & Francis Online on 30th January 2014 and all new journal articles with supplemental material will automatically be uploaded to Figshare from this date.
