In response to extensive negative reaction to article removal from
Science Direct, a database of fulltext journal content provided by
Elsevier, the publisher of the database has published a very clear cut
policy for article removal.

Elsevier Announces New Procedures for Retracting Online Articles

Elsevier Science announced new procedures last week for handling journal
articles in its databases that are the product of plagiarism or other
research misconduct. Librarians and scholars have complained that the
Anglo-Dutch publisher was jeopardizing the integrity of scholarship by
removing articles from its databases with little explanation.
An article in The Chronicle last month (The Chronicle, January 10)
reported that Elsevier had purged dozens of papers from its database and
replaced them with a cryptic notice: "For legal reasons this article has
been removed by the publisher." In some cases, the purged articles had
been plagiarized.
