Publishers and societies take action against Research Gate’s copyright infringements Following unsuccessful attempts to jointly find ways for scholarly collaboration network ResearchGate to run its service in a copyright-compliant way, a coalition of information analytics businesses, publishers and societies is now left with no other choice but to take formal steps to remedy the illicit hosting of millions of subscription articles on the ResearchGate site. Exchanging research and collaborating has been an integral part of academic work for centuries.
