Hello all,
Following extensive review and analysis, we have decided to pursue adding institutional repository content via CORE and Unpaywall.
Therefore, at this time, we will not be ingesting BASE content.
Best,
Rael

Hello all,
We have been in touch with BASE, but have been unable to to confirm their conditions for allowing "commercial services" to index their content.
If you have contacts that could encourage them to provide us with the necessary information, we will be able to proceed with our content assessment.
Thank you,
Rael
