From: Shirley Ainsworth <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2016 14:12:39 -0500 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 Shirley Ainsworth Bibliotecaria/Librarian Instituto de Biotecnologia, UNAM Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. email [log in to unmask] *********** El 18/09/2016 a las 07:36 p.m., LIBLICENSE escribió: From: David Prosser <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 08:48:33 +0000 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!
