Many interesting articles come up in Adv Materials or Adv Fuct. Materials, etc in the Wiley journals that do not give access to free copyright permissions even republishing in reputed journals... Does it not appears that these policies must be modified otherwise this decreases the impact of the journals themselves, as many researchers can't afford to accumulate project funds for re-using them all the time???
It is not so. The free copyright depends upon the agreement between publishers. Elsevier, Springer, Taylor and Francis and few other publishers have signed an agreement to use their content freely among themselves. The free copyright license can be generated in no time using RightsLink website. For instance, if your are write a review article for a journal published by SAGE, you can not get free copyright for a content from Elsevier. You can use Rightslink website to check whether it is free or not. If not free, it will show the price to purchase the copyright.
I think you did not get the point. If I go for ACS, its free irrespective of whether I republish in reputed or new-coming journals that is why ACS is so famously cited but not so for others.....so if the others do provide such free republishing accessibility, both users, as well as the journals, shall be mutually benefitted.
