[GOAL] Re: Chemistry and the Green Door

These 1059 articles were deposited via the ACS "open choice" option.

There will be other ACS papers, funded by NIH authors, which are in PMC but were not routed through the "open choice" route.  These papers will be made available after 12 months, and will not have re-use permissions.  These papers are what NIH call "public access".

By way of example this article published in Organic Letters is an NIH author manuscript.   http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3253247  This article would NOT have been included in the 1059 figure quoted above.

Just done a quick search on PMC. There are 1059 full text articles in this repository

"this" = PMC, not Liege I assume

which were published by the ACS. These are also all OA -- in the sense they can all be freely accessed and reused for non commercial use.

Was this through APC / or US waiver (Gold/hybrid);  or self-archiving Green?

And, as you are aware, from early 2013 Wellcome will be requiring that when we fund an APC that article must be published under the CC-BY licence.

Absolutely - and I support you 110% and I know that author compliance is awful and I know you (and I) are angry about this and that we need measures to detect non-compliance. I am keen to help provide tools that will detect non-compliance because without drastic action (which you and I support) it will continue.
