Scholarly Publishing: CrossRef Set to Launch a Text and Data Mining Service Named Prospect in Early 2014 | LJ INFOdocket

"In the new issue of CrossRef Quarterly, CrossRef’s Executive Director, Ed Pentz writes: CrossRef’s text and data mining service was just approved by the board at its November meeting. [Clip] The service is scheduled to roll out in early 2014. There are two main aspects of the service: 1) a common text and data mining (TDM) API that enables researchers to request full text content from publisher sites in a standard way and 2) a terms and conditions library for those publishers who want to ask for researchers to agree to additional TDM terms. The terms and conditions library isn’t required for OA content or where publishers allow TDM by researchers at subscribing institutions. Pentz also points out that more information is now available via links on this page including links to an overview as well as links to resources for publishers and researchers."
