It would be a lot of fun to create a chart demonstrating out of the 17,000+ vanished articles at Heterocycles, which ones were funded by e.g. NSF, BBSRC, Estonian Science Foundation, Wellcome Trust, et cetera.

Then email each of those funders asking what they think about the situation - that online access to this research they have funded has gone.

Another interesting idea... what is the coverage of the vanished journal 'Heterocycles' in Sci-Hub?

Apparently only 36.7% according to the Sci-Hub Stats Browser: https://greenelab.github.io/scihub/#/journal/25864

for instance for this paper by Bouabdallah et al (2022)

"A new C, C-linked functionalized bipyrazole: ...."

the journal version is offline (oops!)
https://doi.org/10.3987/com-21-14592

whilst the 'green OA' repository hosted copy is safely kept online by @hal_fr here: https://hal.science/hal-03510616/

Yay for self-archiving and repositories providing resilience, even when journals fail to keep content online

then using those 961 DOI's and the roadoi package to query Unpaywall, I can get Unpaywall data on the OA status of each item...

Only 26 out of 961 have a green OA copy.

Well done to those authors though. Those who have self-archived have ensured their research remains accessible, even despite the journal failure

This is a great point. Might I suggest that CLOCKSS is being hesitant here because they know they don’t actually have a digital copy, ready to go online, of every single article?

Attached: 1 image @[email protected] Not a small journal! I wonder if CLOCKSS really meant they have all copies of all issues since 1973. Re financial sustainability, how dare you question the choices of a for-profit business? That's the invisible hand's job! Visible hands should only focus on questioning everyone else.
