This is getting worse by the minute. I followed @christof|s hint concerning the reproduction of articles from #DHQ / @DHQuarterly looking for one of my own papers (digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/).

In this case #ProQuest blatantly violates the CC BY-ND license (creativecommons.org/licenses/b) by

- not mentioning the license
- producing a derivative
- not linking to the original

I am very much in favour of @adho.org, as the publisher of @DHQuarterly, following the path outlined by @dingemansemark. I will also log a complaint with #ProQuest through my employer.

After reading through the CC BY license I am none the wiser whether one has to clearly indicate that the material in question had been originally published somewhere else. The DOI as provided by #ProQuest reveals this fact but only after manually parsing the string with a resolver. Readers unfamiliar with the Programming Historian are made to believe that ProQuest is the original publisher or the platform officially hosting the original content.

However, ProQuest clearly violates the attribution requirements by modifying the layout and removing images. The CC BY license explicitly states that “You must […] indicate if You modified the Licensed Material”.

#ProQuest + #GoogleScholar = scam? Exhibit #123:

- Researcher publishes article in journal, using #CC BY.
- ProQuest republishes article, with author, title, date, DOI, licence. Also, with terrible layout, but without images.
- Their DOI doesn't link anywhere. You need to type "https:/doi.org/", add the DOI, paste URL, to find the actual publication. Grey zone of CC BY requirements?
- GS indexes the publication and provides the ProQuest link instead of the proper URL.

Aaargh.

@oatp Wenn ich in 1 Bibliothek Entscheidungen über E-Ressourcen und die Anbieter, bei denen ich erwerbe treffen müsste, würde ich genau gar nichts machen.

Sondern zusehen wie die Abschaffung von Perpetual Access bei der Erwerbung von E-Books auf der Plattform #EbookCentral (#ProQuest bzw. #Clarivate) und das alleinige Angebot von befristeten Lizenzen meine Universität/Hochschule/Forschungseinrichtung dazu verleitet bibliotheksunabhängig ins Streaming-Game einzusteigen.

"Commercial publishers prefer institutions to sign up to a leasing #subscription model, as they offer little in the way of perpetual rights. This means that if a #Library decides to cancel, they have no owned content to show for their expenditure."

PS: I hope #libraries steer clear of this atrocious model. It uses their real need for access against them. If they're desperate enough to buy a subscription, they're letting their desperation lead them into a trap.

Dear #dhpeople ,

I am helping a researcher in #philosophy of #aesthetics to download hundred of thousands of #art critical reviews for research purpose. Many of those reviews are on the online databasis #proquest which my university pays for us researchers to have access to.
However before diving into a head ache of #webscraping I am wondering if any of you has dealt with this databasis? What did you end up doing? Writing to them to ask? #Scraping? How? Any feedback? #digitalhumanities #dh #Histodon #fedihum #histodons #humanites_numeriques
