do you put your author's final version in https://escholarship.org https://escholarship.org ?
Do you ever use https://oapolicy.universityofcalifornia.edu/ https://oapolicy.universityofcalifornia.edu/ ? (it's only open to senate faculty right now, be we are rolling it out for all ~240k UC employees)

- olliej 7y agoElsevier requires that authors do not do that - they can only provide copies of their papers in response to requests.
- sitkack 7y agoHow about we have an autoresponder framework, like MailMain, that can handle mail with messages like [paper-request] bacterial population analysis under exposure to fox news ? And it would respond with the proper paper or papers attached.
- prepend 7y agoPapers have dois so it’s way easier than asking for by name.
- captncraig 7y agoAnd some kind of index that lists possible "request" locations? Perhaps even with some kind of "hyperlinks". I think we may be onto something big here.

- CallOfTheWilde 7y agoDoes that include HTTP requests? :)
- chaosprophet 7y agoThis could be an extremely interesting legal argument, but I suppose the language used requires a request in 'writing' of some sort, which I suppose HTTP requests would fail.
- pascoej 7y agoThey write your a nice letter with “GET /paper.pdf HTTP/1.1” ;)
- em-bee 7y agohow about a request form that ostensibly takes an email address and a name, and an optional text field and then automates the process of sending the paper (or a hidden (unique) link to that paper) to that email address. it need not store those details anywhere, except that it optionally sends an email to the author (if there is a message). the only concern is spam.
- chrxr 7y agoOne of our academics at Harvard does exactly this via their lab website.
- itsrajju 7y agoOr better... have an email address like papers@authorname.com which receives requests with the title of the paper in the subject line, and a piece of software then receives the request, waits for a random amount of time (anywhere between 10 mins to a couple hours), and then sends the paper to the requester. It would seem that the author personally received the email and replied with an attachment as a "professional courtesy", while completely automating the process in the background.

- _delirium 7y agoThe last time I published in an Elsevier journal, I was allowed to deposit it in my institutional repository with a 2-year embargo period. Still sucks, but if your repository software supports embargo periods (my university's did), it means you can deposit now and it'll be automatically switched to open public access when the embargo times out, which is at least better than never (and less error-prone than hoping I remember to post it in two years). I also posted the PDF on my personal website immediately, on the theory that they are probably not going to sue me personally over my own paper. Not impossible, but I haven't gotten a C&D.
- a3_nm 7y agoThat's not exactly true -- they allow authors to post their papers, e.g., on arXiv; and on institutional repositories such as eScholarship after the end of an embargo period. Here is the page with the (very complicated) terms: https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/sharing https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/sharing
- cultus 7y agoElsevier 100% does allow authors to post preprints (most due). However, there are some journals published by Elsevier that don't.
