[GOAL] 1findr: research discovery & analytics platform

[Éric Archambault]

Hi Peter

We have opened access to our search platform for free.
I the search platform there is a filter to easily identify open access papers.
When you find open access papers you can download them for free.

I think this is relevant for GOAL.

Subject: Re: [GOAL] 1findr: research discovery & analytics platform

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.
