[GOAL] 1findr: research discovery & analytics platform

[Peter Murray-Rust]

I don't want to start a big discussion here, but having briefly browsed the
site I assume that the software is closed, and that the process of indexing
is not transparent (i.e. similar to GoogleScholar or WoS or TR, etc.). I
can't see whether the system indexes fulltext, for example or whether it is
titles and abstract if there are some.

The FAQ says:
1findr is the first database to proudly and obstinately aim to index *all
articles published in peer-reviewed journals in the world*. 1findr is a
comprehensive database that covers the arts, humanities, applied sciences,
engineering and technology, behavioral sciences, health sciences, natural
sciences, and social sciences. We are the world.

** my emphasis

I am not clear how this applies to Open Access (this is the GOAL list) .
This implies that if you are doing this legally (which I assume) then it;s
actually not consistent with the aims of this list and community.
