[open-science] Open Access licence data crowdsourcing exercise

[Everton Zanella Alvarenga]

Thanks, Ross!

I was discussing these days with a chemistry friend and he asked me
such list. I was going to e-mail here, thus I am glad it is already in
this stage!

When he asked me, I found this

http://www.doaj.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-access_journals

A table with the type of license would be really worth doing.

> It's pretty simple to help out. Just Google the journal name given in column

> under e.g. the Creative Commons Attribution Licence (CC BY)
>
> Then fill-in the relevant details you find on the spreadsheet, in columns C
> & D and (optionally) your name too in column F (added by)
> All data filled-in on the datasheet will be public data for anyone to

> I have already scored 531 of the journals, so there's 454 left still to
> score - I need your help to get this task done!
> Many hands make light work...
