[GOAL] Re: OA and scholarly publishers

[Reme Melero]

Good morning! Thinking positively, I would recommend the following change in one clause of the  What rights do I retain as a journal author*? stated in Elsevier's portal, which says "the right to post a revised personal version of the text of the final journal article (to reflect changes made in the peer review process) on your personal or institutional website or server for scholarly purposes*, incorporating the complete citation and with a link to the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) of the article (but not in subject-oriented or centralized repositories or institutional repositories with mandates for systematic postings unless there is a specific agreement with the publisher. Click here for further information);" By this one: "the right to post a revised personal version of the text of the final journal article (to reflect changes made in the peer review process) on your personal,  institutional website,  subject-oriented or centralized repositories or institutional repositories or server for scholarly purposes, incorporating the complete citation and with a link to the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) of the article " I think this could be something to be encouraged, celebrated and recognized!

This is something that scholarly publishers will no doubt pick up on as an argument against unrefereed green OA.   Charles Professor Charles Oppenheim     Elsevier Limited.
