<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">I found the entire “Papiers dorés” video highly interesting. It features mainly high-profile French scientists, who all describe the dominant publication/evaluation model as inadequate and doomed to be superseded in the
 near (or not-so-near) future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Here is my rough translation of some excerpts of the interview with Daniel Rodriguez, director of Elsevier Masson SAS (a branch of Reed Elsevier group), to which Dider alludes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">(14:22) “It’s like you opposed – here I caricature – a financial and a scientific community: there’s no common ground. Thus you oppose an approach that, whichever way you present it, remains first and above all a
<i>profit</i> – [more precisely] <i>profit increase</i> – approach to, let’s say, a much more scientific, “noble” goal related to the global progress of science. In a certain way, I don’t think these two universes can meet each other.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">(16:08) “We are a group whose goal is earning money, so the traditional model remains extremely lucrative. I repeat: we are a publicly traded group, whether we want it or not; we mustn’t bury our head in the sand.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 version of the article has been uploaded along with other key information such as the embargo end date. The availability of these metadata on full-text uploads will be particularly helpful to them.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Hi all,</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Elsevier has a record of pretending to make its decisions (at least partly) in the interests of researchers, or research, and now repositories.</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">One example is the introduction of tagged manuscripts. I don’t really understand how it will work and what will be gained by authors or repositories if they
 use these instead of the usual author-supplied manuscripts, with metadata residing in the repository itself.</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">The new policy seems to imply that either the author-provided or the Elsevier-tagged manuscripts could be self-archived, but like much of the policy, it’s far
 from clear.</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">In this page (<a href="http://www.elsevier.com/connect/elsevier-updates-its-policies-perspectives-and-services-on-article-sharing">http://www.elsevier.com/connect/elsevier-updates-its-policies-perspectives-and-services-on-article-sharing</a>),
 it is stated that in order to help repositories “ensure self-archived accepted manuscripts can be made available in line with publisher’s hosting &amp; posting policies”, Elsevier will be “taking steps to tag all manuscripts from the point of acceptance with key
 metadata”. And also this: “IRs will have access to the tagged manuscripts if an author self-archives.”</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">What I understand here is that these embedded metadata could be used by Elsevier to automatically, and more efficiently, monitor policy &nbsp;compliance (notably
 embargo). Which they have certainly the right to do, by the way. The point is: do we have, or wish to work for them on this?</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">&nbsp;</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Finally, I suggest that you read the Comments section of &nbsp;the above-cited page, especially Ms Wise’s answers, which are - how to say it - more to the point than
 what I’d been expected to find.</span><span lang="EN-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
