Access to the archives of the publisher Elsevier (“Life Sciences” and “Methods in Enzymology” for the Book series) is authorized for all CNRS units and the personnel working in them except for CEA personnel in these structures. The contract between the CNRS and Elsevier stipulates that these archives are not accessible for CEA personnel. Pending technical developments which would enable this access to be restricted, the directors of the units concerned are responsible for taking the necessary measures to ensure this access is not authorized for CEA personnel.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that systematic downloads which are close to each other in time may lead to access to digital resources on the portal being suspended.
There is a maximum limit on downloads. If this limit is exceeded, the account used to access the resources is automatically blocked to avoid the whole portal being shut off by the publishers.
