- Hi All,
- At our research library we cancel journals when budget constraints
- (usually caused by raising prices from stock market noted publishers)
- force us to do so. The choice we make is based on price plus faculty
- use and whether we can actually cancel them. So if journals have a
- price worth saving, faculty shows little use and does not object a
- cancellation, we'll cancel, if we can.
- It might be well the case that there is little use from scholars due
- to a high prevalence of easily accessable material caused by green OA.
- But if that held true, it would only show that scholars and their
- institutions have decided to organise the scholarly communication in
- this particular way. If that scholarly choice is in conflict with
- publisher's revenue expectations they better adjust their business
- model along the needs of scholars and their libraries instead of
- tightening their OA policies.
- Best

- (sorry for any cross-posting)
- In its recently released =E2=80=9CSharing and Hosting Policy FAQ=E2=80=9D, =
- Elsevier
- =E2=80=9Crecognize(s) that authors want to share and promote their work and
- increasingly need to comply with their funding body and institution's open
- access policies.=E2=80=9D However there are several aspects of their new po=
- licy
- that severely limit sharing and open access, in particular the lengthy
- embargo periods imposed in most journals- with about 90% of Elsevier
- journals having embargo periods of 12 months or greater. This is a
- significant rollback from the original 2004 Elsevier policy which required
- no embargos for making author=E2=80=99s accepted manuscripts available; and=
- even
- with the 2012 policy change requiring embargoes only when authors were
- subject to an OA mandate.
- With article processing charges (APCs) that can cost as much as $5000 US
- dollars for publishing in one of Elsevier=E2=80=99s gold open access titles=
- or
- hybrid journals, this is not a viable option for many researchers around
- the world. Furthermore, the rationale for lengthy embargo periods is to
- protect Elsevier=E2=80=99s subscription revenue. We do not believe that sci=
- entific,
- economic and social progress should be hindered in order to protect
- commercial interests. In addition, there is currently no evidence that
- articles made available through OA repositories will lead to cancellations.
- Elsevier=E2=80=99s new policy also requires that accepted manuscripts poste=
- d in
- open access repositories bear a CC-BY-NC-ND license. This type of license
- severely limits the re-use potential of publicly funded research. ND
- restricts the use of derivatives, yet derivative use is fundamental to the
- way in which scholarly research builds on previous findings, for example by
- re-using a part of an article (with attribution) in educational material.
- Similarly, this license restricts commercial re-use greatly inhibiting the
- potential impact of the results of research.

- y =E2=80=9Chave

- demonstrating that there is significant opposition to the policy.
- Elsevier has indicated that they =E2=80=9Care always happy to have a dialog=

- discuss these, or any other, issues further.=E2=80=9D We would like to off=
- er the

- ccepted
- manuscript=E2=80=9D openly available immediately upon acceptance through an=
- OA
- repository or other open access platform.
- Elsevier should allow authors to choose the type of open license (from
- CC-BY to other more restrictive licenses like the CC-BY-NC-ND) they want to
- attach to the content that they are depositing into an open access platform.
- Elsevier should not attempt to dictate author=E2=80=99s practices around in=
- dividual
- sharing of articles. Individual sharing of journal articles is already a
- scholarly norm and is protected by fair use and other copyright exceptions.
- Elsevier cannot, and should not, dictate practices around individual
- sharing of articles.
- We strongly encourage Elsevier to revise their policy in order to better
- align with the interests of the research community. We would also be
- pleased to meet to discuss these recommendations with Elsevier at any time.

- *********
- COAR-recting the record
- We have received neutral-to-positive responses from research
- institutions and the wider research community. We are therefore a
- little surprised that COAR has formed such a negative view, and chosen
- not to feedback their concerns directly to us. We would like to
- correct the misperceptions.
- Our sharing policy is more liberal in supporting the dissemination and
- use of research:
- * At each stage of the publication process authors can share their
- research: before submission, from acceptance, upon publication, and
- post publication.
- In institutional repositories, which no longer require a formal
- agreement to host full text content
- * Authors can also share on commercial platforms such as social
- collaboration networks
- * We provide new services to authors such as the share link which
- enables authors to post and share a customized link for 50 days free
- access to the final published article
- * For authors who want free immediate access to their articles, we
- continue to give all authors a choice to publish gold open access with
- a wide number of open access journals and over 1600 hybrid titles
- Unlike the claims in this COAR document, the policy changes are based
- on feedback from our authors and institutional partners, they are
- evidence-based, and they are in alignment with the STM article sharing
- principles. They introduce absolutely no changes in our embargo
- periods. And they are not intended to suddenly embargo and make
- inaccessible content currently available to readers =E2=80=93 as we have
- already communicated in Elsevier Connect.
- In fact, we have been developing services, in partnership with
- libraries, to help institutional repositories track research output
- and display content to their users. This includes:
- =E2=80=A2 Sharing metadata: In order to showcase an institutions=E2=80=99 =
- work, an
- institutional repository must identify their institution=E2=80=99s research
- output. By integrating the ScienceDirect metadata API into the
- repository, this task becomes simple. Even in cases where the
- repository doesn=E2=80=99t hold the full text manuscript, the article
- information and abstract can be displayed..
- =E2=80=A2 Sharing user access information and embedding final articles: We
- are testing a workflow in which a user=E2=80=99s access level to the full t=
- ext
- is checked on the fly, and if full text access is available, the user
- will be served the final published version, instead of the preprint or
- manuscript hosted by the repository. Users who are not entitled to
- view the full text of the final article will be led to the version
- available in the repository, or- if this is not available- to a page
- where they can view the first page of the article and options for
- accessing it (including via interlibrary loan). This ensures that
- users will always be served the best available version. This also
- enables the repository to display the best available version to their
- users even if no self-archived manuscript is available.
- We have not only updated our policies, we are active in developing and
- delivering technology that enables research to be shared more widely.
- COAR states that the addition of a CC-BY-NC-ND license is unhelpful.
- Feedback suggests that clarity about how manuscripts can be used is
- welcome, when asked in surveys often choose NC ND of their own
- volition (see the T&F study from 2014 at:
- http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/explore/open-access-survey-june2014.pdf
- ), and it works across a broad range of use cases.
- Our refreshed policies are about green OA, and some elements of this =E2=80=
- =93
- for example the use of embargo periods =E2=80=93 are specifically for green=
- OA
- when it is operating in tandem with the subscription business model.
- Here time is needed for the subscription model to operate as libraries
- will understandably not subscribe if this material is available
- immediately and for free.
- In closing, we appreciate an open dialogue and are always happy to
- have a dialogue to discuss these, or any other, issues further.

- From: Stevan Harnad <redactd@gmail.com>
- Date: Wed, 27 May 2015 13:44:11 -0400
- I beg the OA community to remain reasonable and realistic.
- Please don't demand that Elsevier agree to immediate CC-BY. If
- Elsevier did that, I could immediately start up a rival free-riding
- publishing operation and sell all Elsevier articles immediately at cut
- rate, for any purpose at all that I could get people to pay for.
- Elsevier could no longer make a penny from selling the content it
- invested in.
- CC-BY-NC-ND is enough for now. It allows immediate harvesting for data-mini=
- ng.
- The OA movement must stop shooting itself in the foot by
- over-reaching, insisting on having it all, immediately, thus instead
- ending up with next to nothing, as now.
- As I pointed out in a previous posting, the fact that Elsevier
- requires all authors to adopt CC-BY-NC-ND license is a positive step.
- Please don't force them to back-pedal!
- Please read the terms, and reflect.
- SH
- Accepted Manuscript
- Authors can share their accepted manuscript:
- Immediately
- * via their non-commercial personal homepage or blog.
- * by updating a preprint in arXiv or RePEc with the accepted manuscript.
- * via their research institute or institutional repository for
- internal institutional uses or as part of an invitation-only research
- collaboration work-group.
- * directly by providing copies to their students or to research
- collaborators for their personal use.
- * for private scholarly sharing as part of an invitation-only work
- group on commercial sites with which Elsevier has an agreement.
- After the embargo period
- * via non-commercial hosting platforms such as their institutional reposito=
- ry.
- * via commercial sites with which Elsevier has an agreement.
- In all cases accepted manuscripts should:
- * Link to the formal publication via its DOI.
- * Bear a CC-BY-NC-ND license =E2=80=93 this is easy to do, click here to fi=
- nd out how.
- * If aggregated with other manuscripts, for example in a repository or
- other site, be shared in alignment with our hosting policy.
- * Not be added to or enhanced in any way to appear more like, or to
- substitute for, the published journal article.
- How to attach a user license:
- Elsevier requires authors posting their accepted manuscript to attach
- a non-commercial Creative Commons user license (CC-BY-NC-ND). This is
- easy to do. On your accepted manuscript add the following to the title
- page, copyright information page, or header /footer: =C2=A9 YEAR, NAME.
- Licensed under the Creative Commons [insert license details and URL].
- For example: =C2=A9 2015, Elsevier. Licensed under the Creative Commons

- http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
- You can also include the license badges available from the Creative
- Commons website to provide visual recognition. If you are hosting your
- manuscript as a webpage you will also find the correct HTML code to
- add to your page
