linked to by 2This is the sort of thing that really irritates me.Shelley, over at Retrospectacle posted a rather nice analysis of a paper that appeared in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture entitled Natural volatile treatments increase free-radical scavenging...
A fellow ScienceBlogger has been threatened with legal action for reproduction of figures. Is this fair use or not? Honestly, I don't care too much, it seems that they just wanted the bad publicity/review to go away. So I say give them more! Here is the text...
linked to by 1Even though I have read many fine pieces of research in your pages, you have to go. Like others in the science blogging community I am appalled at the heavyhanded tactics Wiley has decided to use against fellow ScienceBlogger Shelley at Retrospectacle. In an...
Shelley Batts over at Retrospectacle was contacted yesterday by a representative of Wiley Interscience, who objected to her fair use of part of one figure from a paper. (Wiley has a record of acting dubiously.) Shelley has posted the exchange on her blog and...

I am a proponent of open access to the scientific literature. We, as taxpayers, fund the research reported in the journals and should have access to the results. I bring this up because a particularly bad case of a publisher of scientific journals behaving...
Shelley Batts at Retrospectacle wrote a post the other day analyzing a journal article that has been reported misleadingly in the popular press under headlines like "Alcohol Makes Fruit Healthier". In her post she had reproduced a part of one figure and a table...
Via GMBM: Blogger served with takedown notice for citing a journal article (and using a clip of some graphed data from the article as part of the citation). Do you want your publishers preventing people from talking about your own articles?...

In case you haven't heard about it already, fellow ScienceBlogger and neuroblogger Shelley has been threatened by lawyers for using images from a journal article in her blog posts. Now, I do this all the time (check two posts back), because the whole point...
Mark Chu-Carroll of Good Math, Bad Math has a very supportive article up summarizing my tangle with lawyers yesterday over the 'fair use' of a figure from the fruit antioxidant paper. In short, I was threatened with legal action if I didn't take it down immediately....

A fellow ScienceBlogger has been threatened with legal action for reproduction of figures. Obviously we post figures here on this weblog pretty frequently. It isn't to screw over the companies doing the publishing from making profits, we just want to talk science....
This doesn't affect me personally, but my friend and fellow ScienceBlogger Shelly Batts of Retrospectacle has been threatened by lawyers from the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, one of the Wiley group's journals, for reproducing a part of one...
A minor flap has erupted regarding blogging and scientific publishing that I'd like to draw some attention to: Shelley Batts, who writes the Retrospectacle blog posted her own summary and review of a research paper published in the Journal of the Science of...
From the BBC on down, in the past few days the headline "Alchohol Makes Fruit Healthier" has been highlighted in nearly every news venue. The fruit contains compounds [antioxidants] that can protect against cancer, heart disease and arthritis. But having them...
