The paywalled chemistry journal 'Heterocycles' has been continuously offline for at least 206 days now...
The CLOCKSS board, on May 29th, voted to approve the "trigger event" to make Heterocycles publicly available under a Creative Commons license on June 17th.
But it's now June 24th...
Why is CLOCKSS sitting on this? 😕
Why is CLOCKSS apparently saying nothing about this? 🤔
At least 199 days now since the paywalled journal 'Heterocycles' went offline.
Still no sign of it at CLOCKSS: https://clockss.org/triggered-content/ 🤔
At least 180 days now since the chemistry journal #Heterocycles went offline. CLOCKSS has a copy of it 'dark' archived, but is so far not releasing it to the public. Go to the "triggered content" page at CLOCKSS and you'll see Heterocycles is nowhere to be seen: https://clockss.org/triggered-content/
Hmmm... 🤔
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.
