Även vi jurister behöver diskutera open access – Universitetsläraren

From Google Translate: "Copyright, and, if applicable patents, is an indispensable instrument to foster an environment where writing and creative scientists can be good economic conditions to pursue a socially important and development-promoting activities. In research, also known as the non-profit side of the copyright, the right to be named in connection with his work and control how the work is used and modified, particularly important. However, I believe that there are tools to manage this as well in open publishing.

International is now open licenses, the most common way that copyright licensing publication of material with open access and open licenses that the non-profit organization Creative Commons provides the most common. By using the different versions of Creative Commons licenses  that are already at hand to signal how and under what conditions a copyright work may be used, choose the publishing researcher to what extent, scope and version he wishes to see his work published and freely. Within this area is already underway today a national guidance work where the Royal Library received a government mandate to monitor and coordinate the work of open access to scientific publications . As part of this work is carried out a study on the requirements for publication of open access, which also deals with recommendations on Creative Commons licenses.

It is also important to emphasize that it is not historically been obvious to the individual researcher could freely dispose copyright to their material. In the traditional journal publishing, the researcher often contractually transferred the copyright to their material to the publisher, which led to difficulties later reuse the material."
