Many organizations archive METADATA not FULL-TEXT. Metadata is trivial to archive - my software has already archived more metadata without anyone's permission than all the repos combined. As Jan says, you only get the abstract and that's almost useless. I suspect that many of the figures for Green relate to metadata , not full text. They are indexes of the organizations work, not the work itself. Yes, the institution has archived the PDF , but no, it's not open. I am talking about putting the full-text up visible or line with a single link for the repo or from Google - not a 10-minute form to beg the author for permission. And that's one reason why Green often falls short of being useful - leaving aside the rights of the reader P. -- Peter Murray-Rust Reader in Molecular Informatics Unilever Centre, Dep.
