Some may have, others won't have. Building collections of secondary data is what the OAI-PMH protocol is all about. If the "full-text" is free, it is more valuable the better it is disseminated. So you can see that content publishers will be happy to make some extra efforts to make their data collections harvestable and aggregatable. Comparining RePEc http://repec.org, 200k records, free and EconLit http://www.econlit.org, 600k records, $$$, I don't see how EconLit will survive in the longer run.
