Comment. It's not free to use and apparently it's not even close. I post the news here mainly to show what's possible. On the one hand, I hope there will be a free rival one day, optimized for OA literature. On the other, that's just the flip side of saying that this seems to be a very useful tool. (I hedge only because I haven't used it.) CSA is to be commended for taking on this hard problem. Update. Here's a comment by Matt Cockerill, publisher of BioMed Central. I post it with his permission. It may be worth noting in passing that CSA Illustrata includes BioMed Central content. |
