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? 🤔
@mike yes, this is a real point of leverage - I think the list of research libraries that pay ($$$) CLOCKSS to do what CLOCKSS ought to do are the "stakeholders" (I don't like this term) with some leverage here.
I can jump up and down and send as many emails as I like to the CLOCKSS leadership team but it's clear that CLOCKSS don't feel they need to be accountable to me 🤷♂️
