Hi Heather
Yes, although we recognise that it’s a key to shift money from subscriptions to
production, it’s not treated as a priority and is even ignored in large by the
OA movement.

Thank you PMR.
I think we agree that it is problematic for Elsevier (or other publishers) to
retain copyright, with or without CC licenses. It appears that we agree that
publishers can use CC licenses with what is in effect a copyright transfer.
That is, if Elsevier uses CC-NC licenses to rese

It is helpful to know that Scopus is included in research4life, and I note the
good work of this initiative.
For the purposes of analysis of the appropriateness of CC-BY for open access,
please note that CC-BY materials are likely being accessed today through a toll

hi Christian,
Thank you for your contribution...
Regarding your argument: "forcing Elsevier also to use CC-BY for their „own“
content would enable competition for analysis tools like Scopus", I have some
questions. Let's start with:
Are you and/or others proposing to force Elsevier to use C

In related news: Elsevier's toll access service Scopus now includes 5,393 open

implications of blanket downstream commercial re-use (e.g. CC-BY):
Extra profit for Elsevier: no need to pay CC-BY journals, and open licensing
