Does anyone have experience with triggering the “access to formerly subscribed titles” clause in an Elsevier contact?
Our contract signed back in 2010 says we can continue to access formerly subscribed titles online for an annual access fee based on the number of full-text articles downloaded from such titles during the prior (12) months at a rate a $00.XX per download + platform fee etc.
There is some gray area in regards to what this practically means. Is the access to all years we had the subscription? Can we pick titles and look at their individual download history to set pricing or is it only for access to the entire collection based on the total downloads from Elsevier in the last 12 months?
If anyone has done this and/or knows how it works I would appreciate if you would contact me.
Thanks
