Hi John,
We've had this too - and have ignored it. Current Web Contents is something you have to
pay for, so seems to be somewhat contrary to the notion of open access!

Hello all,
I just wondered if anyone had been given the offer seen below from
Thomson Scientific.
Our repository content is now being used for their "prestigious
database" and offers us the use of their logo on our website.
Anyone else been sent this, anyone taken up their offer of a logo on
their website?
Intrigued
John Murtagh
