Re: http://techcrunch.com/2013/12/19/elsevier/ (Elsevier Take-Down Notice to Harvard)
See Exchange on Elsevier Website: http://www.elsevier.com/connect/a-comment-on-takedown-notices *December 17, 2013 at 9:05 pm* *Stevan Harnad*: Tom, I wonder if it would be possible to drop the double-talk and answer a simple question: Do or do not Elsevier authors retain the right to make their peer-reviewed final drafts on their own institutional websites immediately, with no embargo? Just a Yes or No, please… Stevan *December 18, 2013 at 2:36 pm* *Tom Reller*: Hello Dr. Harnad. I don’t agree with your characterization of our explanation here, but nevertheless as requested, there is a simple answer to your question – yes. Thank you. *December 20, 2013* *Stevan Harnad:* Tom, thank you. Then I suggest that the institutions of Elsevier authors ignore the Elsevier take-down notices (and also adopt an immediate-deposit mandate that is immune to all publisher take-down notices by requiring immediate deposit, whether or not access to the immediate-deposit is made immediately OA)… Stevan
