Peter is right.  Currently we have no data on what type of licences people are choosing. The Wellcome Trust ask for CC BY, but it is starting to look like many of the authors they fund are not choosing this.

Hi Jenny,

Thanks for stopping by the spreadsheet and filling in a few rows - much appreciated!

There appears to be a few gremlins in Google's servers which are affecting the drop down lists. Very frustrating.

I've turned off rejection for invalid data and replaced it with a warning rule which seems to have fixed things. I'll now go through and update your BMJ records.

The licence information is proving to be a really interesting area. A lot of publishers seemingly don't like CC-BY because of the impact is has on their reprint sales.


Yes, and we have to fight this. Noticed that Wiley seems to have slipped back. And the problem is that they market CC-NC to academics as being in authors' interests.
