“We are very pleased to be able to offer our authors, readers and the wider research community a sharing solution that we think is easier, more dynamic, interactive and of greater value to them than static PDF downloads.
As a publisher of large parts of the scientific record, we take very seriously our responsibilities to our authors to protect their rights and to researchers to maximise their access to and use of the content we publish.
We think this initiative strikes the right balance, given researchers’ legitimate needs to share content as part of their collaborations and discussions and the increasing need of wider society to appreciate the results of recent research. We hope other publishers will join us in addressing these critical needs.”
