[Irtalk] Elsevier is taking down papers from Academia.edu | Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week

[Hilton Gibson]

Lots of researchers post PDFs of their own papers on their own web-sites.
It’s always been so, because even though technically it’s in breach of the
copyright transfer agreements that we blithely sign, everyone knows it’s
right and proper. Preventing people from making their own work available
would be insane, and the publisher that did it would be committing a PR
gaffe of huge proportions
