“there are some fields (such as crystallography in chemistry) in which research is impeded because

publisher copyright contracts forbid the machine data‐mining of the digital data in the articles.

But there is no immediate way to get publishers to allow that, so mandating Gratis Green OA (with the ID/OA

compromise) is still the fastest, surest and cheapest way to reach the outcome these fields require.”
