Text and Data Mining (TDM) Policy

Version dated 15 Apr. 2015

Journal of Zhejiang University-SCIENCE (JZUS) recognizes that text and data mining (TDM) is increasingly seen as a useful method for analyzing large volumes of unstructured documents, which can meet the needs of researchers and support the innovation and development of new knowledge. JZUS participates in CrossRef Text and Data Mining Services. Researchers are able to text mine content accessed via CrossRef and Springer’s Metadata API. Our current policy will be updated from time to time.

Terms and conditions for TDM

JZUS grants TDM rights to subscribed contents since 2015. These terms and conditions shall be accepted by anyone granted access to JZUS’s website (www.jzus.zju.edu.cn) for TDM purposes.

1. TDM access is provided to subscribers only for noncommercial research purposes.

2. Outputs of anything generated directly by TDM must be licensed by the user under a Creative Commons CC-BY license, Version 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US).

3. Output can include snippets of up to a maximum of 200 characters from the original text, excluding text entity matching or bibliographic metadata.

4. The selection and refinement of desired articles can be conducted by using existing search methods and tools, such as CrossRef and Springer’s Metadata API. Full-text contents can be accessed easily and programmatically at URLs based on the articles’ DOIs.

TDM agreement

Text mining access for subscription content is provided to subscribers for noncommercial research purposes. Once a click through agreement is accepted, JZUS grants the researchers to access data obtained available by the API and will deliver the API documentation using query algorithms (e.g., curl, Python) and cryptographic API keys through CrossRef Text and Data Mining Services.

We are glad to accommodate if any researchers who have specific text mining needs. Please email to jzus_zxx@zju.edu.cn, jzus@zju.edu.cn.
