From: Ann Shumelda Okerson <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2017 14:16:48 -0400 Hi, Anali, that still doesn't answer my question of "how does one know which version?" "OA version" isn't exactly an answer, or at least not what I was wondering. Assuming that what is pointed to is definitely legal, what I meant is, how does one know if this is a final final published version, an e-print version, an author's manuscript version, etc. Cheers, Ann Okerson On Wed, Mar 22, 2017 at 4:52 AM, LIBLICENSE <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > From: Anali Perry <[log in to unmask]> > Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2017 15:41:08 +0000 > Subject: RE: ImpactStory releases new Chrome Extension: Unpaywall > Hi Brian, > > Google Scholar does not reliably index all institutional repositories > (there have been a few studies documenting this - there are issues on > both the repository & Google sides).
