Elseiver announces allowing text mining of its journals

Elseiver is now allowing researchers to text mine journal articles. Nature report here. This page at Indiana University's website mentions researchers can text mine the journals by contacting journal publishers through them. It was published sometime in January 2013 (based on last update date on left bottom). So I guess researchers could text mine articles earlier also, now they don't need explicit permission. Of course, it is not for non - academician or for commercial purposes. Still, interesting opportunities lie in store.
