Is it one, or generally more than one, author or is it the the funder of the research, representing the public domain? Leo Waaijers. From: "Wallis, Lisa" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2018 16:37:46 -0600 This seems to come up fairly regularly in some of the ProQuest collections (e.g. Social Science Premium). In fact, we include a note in our link resolver menu that says "Some individual issues or articles may not be available online." -- *Lisa Wallis, *Acting Dean of Libraries eResources & Systems Librarian / Associate Professor *Ronald Williams Library* Northeastern Illinois University 5500 North St. Louis Avenue, Chicago, IL 60625 Phone: (773) 442-4571 Library Administration: (773) 442-4470 Here is PQ's language from their support center <https://support.proquest.com/#articledetail?id=kA0400000004JCxCAM&key=some%20articles%20not%20available&pcat=All__c&icat=> .

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.

It's an interesting topic.

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.
