Description
Summary:In the case of online scholarly literature, information is more likely to be archived and able to be found--indeed, an open-access article is one in which, according to the Bethesda Definition, "A complete version of the work and all supplemental materials, including a copy of the permission..., in a suitable standard electronic format is deposited immediately upon initial publication in at least one online repository that is supported by an academic institution, scholarly society, government agency, or other well-established organization that seeks to enable open access, unrestricted distribution, interoperability, and long-term archiving (for the biomedical sciences, PubMed Central is such a repository)." [...]there is currently no automated way for publishers to redirect links from the original address to the address on the Internet Archive.
