Developments in Publishers’ Text and Data Mining (TDM) Policy | SPARC | Big Data + Libraries | Scoop.it

Elsevier has recently announced a new policy on text and data mining, or TDM. The implementation of the policy requires that libraries sign an agreement with Elsevier that will permit their patrons to use TDM tools on Elsevier’s content. Many libraries have questions on the implications of this policy – and on TDM in general. Below we outline the essential issues and offer some guidance on how libraries might consider responding to this new policy.

University College London and Elsevier launch UCL Big Data Institute | Big Data + Libraries | Scoop.it
In new innovation hub, researchers will explore new technologies and analytics to help scientists find relevant information faster

 

Elsevier believes that linking analytics and scientific content is one of the key ways to better serve scientists; the company will fund research through the Institute related to the analysis, use and storage of big data.

The Institute will build on Elsevier's acquisition of Mendeley, which operates a global research management and collaboration platform from the heart of east London's tech start-up community, and Elsevier's recent investment into building a London-based world-class web analytics group. Elsevier will establish a Centre of Excellence within this web analytics group in connection with the Institute, co-staffed with UCL researchers. The Centre will be based at Mendeley's headquarters, making it easier for colleagues to share knowledge and resources; it will offer employment as well as commercialization activities in collaboration with UCL.
