As far as CCAL is concerned, we did not find anything that prohibits reuse of figures or other material from such articles.<br /><br />Alyssa, we built FigureSearch with the idea of simplicity, inspired by search engines such as Google, where one search box provides all solutions. At the same time, we do provide search functionality over some facets from the Advanced Search option. Nonetheless, FigureSearch is a work in progress, and I'd be thrilled to get your and others' feedback on how we could improve it. So please feel free to send me your thoughts and 'wishlist'.Shashankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16851291942923088741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-42021592153096762042010-10-16T09:29:39.791-07:002010-10-16T09:29:39.791-07:00I dont know Alyssa - not my system ---I dont know Alyssa - not my system ---Jonathan Eisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953790938128734305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-2789501091556049312010-10-16T09:21:32.302-07:002010-10-16T09:21:32.302-07:00I am curious if a search by keyword (e.g. one so g...I am curious if a search by keyword (e.g. one so general as "interferon") is really useful enough.

The authors do retain copyright and I guess that could come with some rights, but by also agreeing to the CC license they set the material "free" - as in freedom. This means nobody needs to get permission to redistribute/use the materialJonathan Eisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953790938128734305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-39976286163659975442010-10-12T21:45:04.096-07:002010-10-12T21:45:04.096-07:00You know a lot more about it than I do, but just b...You know a lot more about it than I do, but just because the articles are open-access doesn't mean that the figures are free from copyright. Both PLoS and BMC use the CCAL, so anyone can reuse figures from those journals in e.g. a presentation. However, such use is not free of conditions, and is not free of copyright restrictions. Don't the original authors retain copyright for works published in PLoS and BMC?Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16550461306175388443noreply@blogger.com
