[Open-access] Hargreaves Report - urgent call for help with draft response

Fri Mar 2 09:58:14 UTC 2012

Dear All

A while ago, the working group started a response to the Hargreaves Report
http://www.ipo.gov.uk/ipreview
This report could lead to substantial changes to UK copyright law,
particularly with regard to text mining of the scientific literature and we
feel that a response is both necessary and urgent.

You can contribute to the draft response here http://okfnpad.org/sciencewg-
hargreaves and we would be grateful for any and all input, particularly any
data and hard figures as well as personal experience surrounding access to
the literature for text mining or the possible contribution that text
mining could make to scientific discovery and the economy.

If you wish to discuss points in detail, you can use either this email
thread copying both open-science and open-access, make notes within the
text on the Etherpad or in the chat window on the right of the pad.

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Jenny
