aserl-collection-strategy Mailing List: Re: Elsevier AI language

[Christina Althea Torbert (ctorbert]

Renewing our use terms for Scopus for 2024 was the first time I saw this 
language in the restrictions on use: use the Subscribed Products in combination 
with an artificial intelligence tool (including to
train an algorithm, test, process, analyze generate output and/or develop any 
form of artificial
intelligence tool);
I assumed it was to stop competition with Scopus.AI and didn't think fast 
enough to try to change it.

Our state-wide group has not yet seen the contract language for our journal 
agreement, but we are preparing to object/fight these restrictions in that 
negotiation.

All the best,
Christina

Good afternoon, colleagues!

For those you who are currently negotiating any renewals with Elsevier, can you 
share any language they are attempting to include re: generative AI? If so, 
have you been able to push back with fair use language? I ask because I am 
wondering if they are trying to clamp down on any competition with Scopus.AI. 
We have a researcher who wants to extract a certain number of high-impact 
article abstracts to perform some LLM traning.

Thanks for your consideration!

Chris
