<p>Dear <br>
</p>
<p>Your example is completely right. For me today, one of the
biggest problem hindering the progress to find a cure for the
covid19 disease is related to copyright. I would therefore like to
search for all articles that match "copyright" and "disease", or
"copyright" and "virus" or "copyright" and "cure" and many other
combination.</p>
<p>Please let me know where I can find enough information to start
to use the software you are working on.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>Nicolas<br>

In practice, I doubt that access to current research is
such a big<br>
issue "NOW" as libraries and open access advocates make it
appear to<br>
be. The average academic only reads about one hour a
week. In most<br>
cases, if you know that a paper exist and who the author
is, you can<br>
contact the author to get the paper. Most authors will
comply because<br>
they crave citations. The open access situation will
improve anyway<br>
as the virus crises in the long run will leave
institutions too weak<br>
to afford the journal subscription folly. <br clear="all">

<div>The idea that readers want a single paper is absolutely
out of date in the digital century. I want all information
on "face mask"s - it's been requested by a Cambridge
colleague. </div>

<div>Our system getpapers+AMI downloaded and analysed over 300
papers for this query in 5 minutes. See <a

for the actual papers. Anyone can do this on their laptop.
For free. (If anyone says "what about Copyright"? I'll
raise the ghost of Queen Anne and her wrath. Copyright has
no place in modern science/medicine).Except they won't get
most of the relevant papers from Springer, Elsevier, T+F,
Wiley, Sage, JSTOR, as my software does not go behind
paywalls.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It's more than that. Suppose I want all drugs related to
chloroquine. The hydroxy derivative is called Plaquenil. I
didn't know that. But the software developed by my group in
Cambridge DOES know that. So we need to build an index of
the chemistry in the literature.</div>
<div>If we do that we'll have a lawyer's letter from Elsevier
or Wiley in 5 minutes and have my university banning me from
Knowledge research, (Don't think it doesn't happen - it does
- see <a
href="https://www.slideshare.net/petermurrayrust/disrupting-the-publisheracademic-complex"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.slideshare.net/petermurrayrust/disrupting-the-publisheracademic-complex</a> for
what they did to Chris Hartgerink , a PhD researcher at
Tilburg, working on reproducible research. And I have other
anecdotal evidence which I can't share.) .<br>
<br>
Again,<br>
Don't dictate what we want. Let us search the whole
literature freely. Then we may need a new generation of
publisher tools. And if you publishers actually have
something to offer it will be decided on merit, not
lawyers. <br>
