Want to stop AI training on your research?
Think a CC BY-NC-ND license will help?
Think again! @creativecommons.bsky.social says restrictive licenses don’t block AI training but do limit:
- rapid dissemination
- rigorous review
- equitable access

Why should I make my research open?🤷
@creativecommons.bsky.social says:
CC BY lets you keep copyright whilst your work can be:
• Translated into other languages
• Adapted for education
• Used on Wikipedia
Open research = greater reach and impact! 🌍✨

Aghhh, what licence should I choose?! 😩
@creativecommons.bsky.social make it simple:
CC BY is the least restrictive = maximises reuse & cuts legal hassle
CC BY lets others:
✅ Share your work
🔧 Adapt it
#OpenLicensing = more innovation 🚀

Licensing of articles in Europe PMC: 5.5 M CCO/CC-BY-SA/CC-BY Licenses for which free text available for derivative of commercial use. 7M open access full text which are free full text available as XML bulk download under a Creative Commons license, or similar. 10.8M free full text where the free full text in Europe PMC is read and display only. And 46.2M records where full text may be available elsewhere via Unpaywall integration.
How does licensing affect innovation?
Melissa Harrison from @ebi.embl.org breaks it down with #EuropePMC stats:
• 10.8M full text = read only
• 7M full text = downloadable by XML
• 5.5M full text = open for reuse, including text-mining!
