Hi John,
Thanks for the link to this article. I like your suggestions. Something that publishers can do in this area was articulated at the Researcher 2 Reader conference:
"This comment was responded with a call out to publishers to make the information about sharing more accessible to authors through How Can I Share It <http://www.howcanishareit.com/>?”
The link to How Can I Share It? is - http://www.howcanishareit.com/ <http://www.howcanishareit.com/>
The link to the blog post I wrote about the conference is here - https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1316 <https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=1316>
On a related note, Jason Priem posted the below to the SCHOL COMM list this morning:
Hi all,
Our nonprofit is pre-releasing a sweet open-source OA tool, and thought the
list might be interested:
It's called Unpaywall, and it links you to legal, open-access fulltext as you
browse research articles, letting you bypass paywalls. It draws from an index
of 10M+ OA articles [1] harvested from IRs, preprint repositories, OA
journals, and so on.
The idea is quite similar to the very cool Open Access Button, but with a UI
that's aimed at a broader audience. We've had good luck so far with that:
we've passed 1500 installations in our first four days, and the announcement
tweet has more than 500 retweets.
Using Unpaywall, readers in many fields can now find fulltext on a majority of
scholarly articles, even with zero subscription access. For instance, we [2]
looked at news stories published in 2016 with “cancer” in their headlines that
contained a link to a research article. Of the 11k articles examined, nearly
half were available using Unpaywall--despite most of them being paywalled.
We hope that getting this extension out to people can be a major step forward
for Open Access, by inserting OA directly at the point of need--bridging the
gap between the IR and user's workflow.
We'd love to hear your thoughts! Check it out here: http://unpaywall.org <http://unpaywall.org/>
Best,
Jason
[1] we'll be releasing all of these as an open dataset later this month
[2] together with Juan Alperin from Simon Fraser University.
