Based on this limited information, this sounds like a failure of licensing,
and should not be a common occurrence.  There is no reason, in principle,
why an article for which the author retains copyright should not appear in
an aggregator database. The publisher, presumably, stands between the
author and the aggregator; they negotiate with both the author and the
aggregator. If an author wants to retain copyright, the publisher should be
negotiating a license to publish with that author that takes account of
their agreements with any aggregators.  Perhaps the author was unwilling to
allow republication in an aggregator, but it is hard to see why they would
be.  This seems like it is fundamentally the publisher’s responsibility, as
the party to both agreements.

Subject: [lis-e-resources] Author assigned copyright = no access?
To: [log in to unmask]

Hi all,

Has anyone else come across a situation whereby an aggregator has not been
able to provide full text access to a single article in a journal issue
because the author has retained copyright? I honestly don’t think I have
(until this morning!) and am slightly concerned that this might be a common
occurrence.

Thanks.

Best wishes,

Sarah
