<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US">List members may be aware that Elsevier sent out thousands of take-down notices for Green OA yesterday. See
<a href="http://svpow.com/2013/12/06/elsevier-is-taking-down-papers-from-academia-edu/" target="_blank">
http://svpow.com/2013/12/06/elsevier-is-taking-down-papers-from-academia-edu/</a> and much twitter discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US">These manuscripts are Green. They are self archived by authors after publication.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US">But this is forbidden by Elsevier - the manuscripts can only be posted in an Institutional Repository (and then, I assume, only if there is no mandate requiring deposition).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US">This is lunacy and it's to the discredit of the academics that they play this convoluted and sterile game created by the publishers. Publishers' reason for insisting
on IRs over <a href="http://Academia.edu" target="_blank">Academia.edu</a> is that readers actually use Academia.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US">The purpose of the BOAI declaration was to make scholarship available to everyone. This farce makes scholarship available to almost no-one.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
