I don't want to start a big discussion here, but having briefly browsed the site I assume that the software is closed, and that the process of indexing is not transparent (i.e. similar to GoogleScholar or WoS or TR, etc.). I can't see whether the system indexes fulltext, for example or whether it is titles and abstract if there are some.
The FAQ says: 1findr is the first database to proudly and obstinately aim to index *all articles published in peer-reviewed journals in the world*. 1findr is a comprehensive database that covers the arts, humanities, applied sciences, engineering and technology, behavioral sciences, health sciences, natural sciences, and social sciences. We are the world. ** my emphasis I am not clear how this applies to Open Access (this is the GOAL list) . This implies that if you are doing this legally (which I assume) then it;s actually not consistent with the aims of this list and community. P.
