STM's Article-Sharing Principles Get Update
STM released a revised version of its “Voluntary Principles for Article Sharing on Scholarly Collaboration Networks.” Based on feedback from a consultation in early 2015, the principles list a set of core beliefs such as, “Publishers and libraries should be able to measure the amount and type of sharing, using standards such as COUNTER, to better understand the habits of their readers and quantify the value of the services they provide.” STM also provided a commentary paper outlining the changes to the principles, updates from the working group, and future plans. Organizations can become official endorsers of the document by emailing Matt McKay, STM’s director of communications and events, at mckay@stm-assoc.org.For more information, visit the website.
