<p class="MsoNormal">This is not about where authors may self archive their papers, but about the version they archive. Academia (and Researchgate, and personal sites) have thousands of published versions archived by the authors. That is against most publishers'

<p class="MsoNormal">Elsevier has always been issuing takedown notices, but not at this scale and mostly not against their own authors. In that sense this is new and a sign that Elsevier wants to fight the very idea that outcomes of science should circulate
freely. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Strictly juridically speaking Elsevier is just asserting copyright of course. But I hope it will be another wake up call for authors with the effect that they start to massively share their last author versions through their institutional
repositories and other routes. And of course they can publish in reasonably priced full OA journals.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">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/">
http://svpow.com/2013/12/06/elsevier-is-taking-down-papers-from-academia-edu/</a> and much twitter discussion.</p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">These manuscripts are Green. They are self archived by authors after publication.
</p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">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).</p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">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">Academia.edu</a> is that readers actually use Academia.
