Michael Carroll has brought up some good questions about the details. I'd like to check the details, too, but can't find them.. Is there a URL for the announcement and preferably links to details? I can't see one this morning on the Taylor & Francis website: http://www.taylorandfrancis.com/
Jennifer - I would also be very interested in hearing how this announcement impacts the other "brands" of T&F's parent company, informa.plc. One specific question is about how this new program will intersect with informa.plc's commercial document delivery services (sales of articles, reprints, etc.), and also sub-licensing of the same. For the benefit of list members who may be less familiar with the larger company that owns Taylor & Francis and its business operations, here are two examples of these services. informa healthcare - e.g. - "purchase online journal content by article", at: http://informahealthcare.com/ Reprint (reseller) adds informa healthcare titles to document delivery service: "January 5, 2010?Reprints Desk, Inc.?, the content workflowcompany, today announced an agreement with Informa plc (INF.LN) that enables the companyto deliver individual Informa articles in PDF and paper format from more than 1,000 peer-reviewed scholarly journals. The agreement with Informa Healthcare and Life Sciences titles,along with previously signed agreement with Taylor & Francis, means that Reprints Desk now has formal agreements with the world?s five largest commercial publishers of peer-reviewed scientific, technical, and medical (STM) journals".
