PaperHive, a copyright-compliant scholarly collaboration network, has launched an industry consultation group focused on developing solutions for responsible PDF-sharing and measurement of off-campus content usage. The group is joined by representatives of market-leading academic publishers including Springer Nature, Taylor and Francis Group, Cambridge University Press, SAGE Publishing, technology provider Ingenta, data company Clarivate Analytics, and Publons.
The goal of the industry consultation group is to define a solution inspired by researcher workflows that ensures copyright-compliant usage of user-uploaded content, giving publishers additional insights in off-campus usage, sharing and networks of collaboration. The new solution will enable users to upload PDFs to PaperHive and share them privately in groups of limited size in line with STM Voluntary Principles for Article Sharing on Scholarly Collaboration Networks, while ensuring access is never shared publicly.
Metadata matching will allow publishers to gain insights into PDF content usage that are similar to the ones known from online usage of HTML content.
