<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cycles Nine LF"">Elsevier’s November 2017 contract proposal for its Reaxys chemical reactions API service contained requirements that the Stanford Libraries find to be antithetical to standards
of academic freedom, and not in keeping with the university’s policies. Given these requirements (detailed in the attached warning) and Elsevier’s unwillingness to negotiate these points, the Libraries have rejected this contract. We predict that Elsevier
will market this service to individual principal investigators and their labs. No P.I. should sign any contract offered by Elsevier, particularly this one. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
