=== Blocking text mining research ===
Elsevier seeks to regulate [[text and data mining]] with private licenses,<ref name=nature527413f/> claiming that reading requires extra permission if automated and that the publisher holds copyright on [[threshold of originality|output of automated processes]]. The conflict on research and copyright policy has often resulted in researchers being blocked from their work.<ref>{{cite journal|first1=Richard|last1=Van Noorden|title=Elsevier opens its papers to text-mining|journal=Nature|date=3 February 2014|issn=0028-0836|pages=17|volume=506|issue=7486|doi=10.1038/506017a|pmid=24499898|doi-access=free|quote="It was a legitimate criticism, that people sent text-mining requests in to publishers and they bounced around for a time without any response", admits Chris Shillum, vice-president of product management for platform and content at Elsevier.|bibcode=2014Natur.506...17V}}</ref> In November 2015, Elsevier blocked a scientist from performing [[text mining]] research at scale on Elsevier papers, even though his institution already pays for access to Elsevier journal content.<ref name="nature527413f">{{cite journal|last1=Bloudoff-Indelicato|first1=Mollie|title=Text-mining block prompts online response|journal=Nature|date=20 November 2015|volume=527|issue=7579|pages=413|doi=10.1038/527413f|bibcode=2015Natur.527..413B|s2cid=4457698|doi-access=free}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Moody|first1=Glyn|title=Elsevier Says Downloading And Content-Mining Licensed Copies Of Research Papers 'Could Be Considered' Stealing|url=https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20151117/09383132839/elsevier-says-downloading-content-mining-licensed-copies-research-papers-could-be-considered-stealing.shtml|website=TechDirt|date=18 November 2015|access-date=21 November 2015|archive-date=21 November 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151121235758/https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20151117/09383132839/elsevier-says-downloading-content-mining-licensed-copies-research-papers-could-be-considered-stealing.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref> The data was collected using the [[R (programming language)|R]] package "statcheck".<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Nuijten|first1=Michèle B.|last2=Hartgerink|first2=Chris H.
