Dear Mr. Tibboel,
with Elsevier forcing a redirect to a ScienceDirect "landing page", I
guess this
will be the (extended) abstract if the user is not already ip
authenticated, or
is it a login page (which then leads to what page if you log in? could
someone
pls actually test this remotely?). However, if the user is coming from
an ip
authenticated site, the "landing page" is rather the HTML full text
version. If
users want PDF (as most do), they still need to click a second time (as you
described correctly) to retrieve the PDF. Does this mean that the publisher
will count two full text accesses? If so, then this is a clever device
to push up
download stats by up to a factor 2, with the first FT access being
forced, the
second one (for PDF) optional.
Best regards,
Bernd-Christoph Kaemper, Stuttgart University Library
