Factual indexing, fair use and takedown policy

Factual indexing and fair use

The Literature Atlas indexes bibliographic metadata and non-substitutive factual study parameters, such as study design, sample size and statistical outcomes. Its study briefs are machine-generated into a structured factual schema and compiled for non-commercial educational scholarship under 17 U.S.C. § 107 (fair use).

No full-text hosting

The Literature Atlas hosts no proprietary full-text manuscripts or figures. Each entry links directly to the publisher's Version of Record via DOI, or to PubMed where no DOI is available.

Rights holder requests

Publishers and copyright holders may request immediate review or removal of any indexed entry by writing to admin@interventionalpulm.com with the DOI or PMID of the entry and the nature of the concern. We handle every request in good faith, and an entry may be withdrawn while its review is under way.
