Harvesting Gold OA journal articles is a piece of cake. How will Paperity/redex harvest Green OA articles published in non-OA journals but made OA somewhere on the Web — via Google Scholar?
Sounds like a splendid idea if it can be done… But not if it is just Gold-biassed, because most refereed research is not Gold, and the fastest growing form of OA is Green (because of mandates, and absence of extra cost).
