I've now had a look on the Elsevier site, and am even more confused. Does anyone know how we are supposed to find the articles which fall under this policy? I can't find a mention of it on the Elsevier site. D

If you are allowed to use "up to three figures (including tables and illustrations) per individual article (or ten per journal volume) and up to 100 words from a single text extract (or 300 words from a series of extracts)" in one piece of work, what's to stop someone else using another three figures, etc. Surely over time the entire contents of the articles will become open access? I haven't even looked at the article, or the resource, so this is obviously a completely uninformed perspective, but ????
