RE: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Announcement



And many LWW online journals through Ovid now feature a big, loud,
obstructive LWW logo and copyright warning stamped smack in the middle of
all pages of all PDF articles in selected journals.  The logo/warning
readily interferes with the text and makes reading very difficult.
Printing off a copy only worsesens the obstruction of the text. ASAIO
Journal, Transplantation, Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, and
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology are a few examples.

Ovid.
