I'd very strongly disagree there. Read the history of Google, and you'll see just how many people they pissed off in scraping the web. Launching snippets risked "copyright infringement" on a massive scale. Google Books: ballsy scanning with

It is true that journals serve as advertising/branding. That was their real value add. But article-level metrics are changing that. Now you can get stats on individual articles (e.g. # of cites, # of pageviews, listed on Faculty of 1000, Mo
