From: Rusty Speidel <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2017 10:57:58 -0400 What if ORCID could be used as the access standard? Authenticated users within a subscriber institution can access the content from any device, anywhere. Control of the access to your own data is a fundamental principle of ORCID <https://orcid.org/about/what-is-orcid/principles>: "Researchers control the defined visibility settings of their own ORCID record data." So...it could be used to authenticate access, but not necessarily cede control over identity to the publisher. ________________ Rusty Speidel Marketing Director Center for Open Science https://cos.io | @osframework On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 10:22 PM, LIBLICENSE <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > From: "Hinchliffe, Lisa W" <[log in to unmask]> > Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2017 01:52:17 +0000 > > To the degree that SciHub is caused by "difficulty" in accessing > licensed resources, systems to make it easier are all likely to try > and address it.
