It requires clear labelling of the subset that is BOAI-compliant. There is enough material - I believe - in BMC and PLoS papers to develop some useful science. And the toll-access journals will miss out on the citations. <br>
</div></div><br>This is the problem with UK/PMC (as Casey Bergman and others have pointed out) - it is difficult to find the content that is minable other than BMC and PLoS.<br><br>P.<br><br>-- <br>Peter Murray-Rust<br>Reader in Molecular Informatics<br>
