Author(s):  
Валентина Троцька

The author in the article explores the issues of using publications available in Open Access on the digital network. The article describes the definition of the term «Open Access». This concept is based on the Budapest Open Access Initiative (2012) — this document contains one of the most widely used definitions of Open Access. The basic features of this term are established.A comparison is made between the free (fair) use of works and the use of publications available in Open Access. The difference between these concepts are established.The use of publications available in Open Access, except for works that have become public domain, may not be copyright free. Moral rights are reserved by the authors, and property rights belong to the person who acquired them in accordance with the law or the contract. These rights must be adhered when publishing and using this publication available in Open Access. The use of the term «Open» does not mean unlimited access to the works.The article explores that Open Access publishing is possible if there are not legal, financial, technical obstacles. It has been proven that overcoming these obstacles is directly or indirectly related to the need for compliance copyright law.The article explores the problematic issues of authors' payment for article publishing charge and the use of publications available in Open Access (Article processing charge) and ways solution these issues.This article gives an overview of examples of contracts where publication fees are paid not by institutional authors but by interested organizations. The article explores the different types of contracts that can be concluded when publishing works and the use of publications available in the Open Access. In particular, the agreements of the rights transfer, the public licenses for Creative Commons.Generally, the use of a published work may be permitted subject to the conditions, defined by the person, who has the exclusive right under law or contract to permission the use of the work, and may determine the conditions of access to that work. The article argues that the key issue is the compliance of copyright for works that are created, published, and made available to the public online under the Open Access. The author analyzes the others issues of application of the legislation in the sphereof copyright, gives examples from practices.

For decades, the supra-inflation increase of subscription prices for scholarly journals has concerned scholarly institutions. After years of fruitless efforts to solve this “serials crisis”, open access has been proposed as the latest potential solution. However, also the prices for open access publishing are high and are rising well beyond inflation. What has been missing from the public discussion so far is a quantitative approach to determine the actual costs of efficiently publishing a scholarly article using state-of-the-art technologies, such that informed decisions can be made as to appropriate price levels. Here we provide a granular, step-by-step calculation of the costs associated with publishing primary research articles, from submission, through peer-review, to publication, indexing and archiving. We find that these costs range from less than US$200 per article in modern, large scale publishing platforms using post-publication peer-review, to about US$1,000 per article in prestigious journals with rejection rates exceeding 90%. The publication costs for a representative scholarly article today come to lie at around US$400. These results appear uncontroversial as they not only match previous data using different methodologies, but also conform to the costs that many publishers have openly or privately shared. We discuss the numerous additional non-publication items that make up the difference between these publication costs and final price at the more expensive, legacy publishers.

Introduction. The paper presents survey results on the awareness towards and practice of Open Access scholarly publishing among Russian academics.Materials and Methods. We employed methods of statistical analysis of survey results. Materials comprise results of data processing of Russian survey conducted in 2018 and published results of the latest international surveys. The survey comprised 1383 respondents from 182 organizations. We performed comparative studies of the responses from academics and research institutions as well as different research areas. The study compares results obtained in Russia with the recently published results of surveys conducted in the United Kingdom and Europe.Results. Our findings show that 95% of Russian respondents support open access, 94% agree to post their publications in open repositories and 75% have experience in open access publishing. We did not find any difference in the awareness and attitude towards open access among seven reference groups. Our analysis revealed the difference in the structure of open access publications of the authors from universities and research institutes. Discussion andConclusions. Results reveal a high level of awareness and support to open access and succeful practice in the open access publications in the Russian scholarly community. The results for Russia demonstrate close similarity with the results of the UK academics. The governmental open access policies and programs would foster the practical realization of the open access in Russia.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the difference between Open Access and accessibility, to argue that accessibility is the most crucial feature, and to suggest some ways in which Open Access militates against accessibility. Design/methodology/approach – Analysis of best practice by journals and monograph publishers is used to highlight the degree to which accessibility is enhanced by input from readers and editors. The expense of this, both real and hidden, is shown to be compatible only with difficulty with publishing methods where keeping costs low is essential, and Open Access alternatives that make available manuscripts “as submitted” are shown to make available less accessible scholarship. Findings – Scholarship is markedly improved by referees and editors; the emphasis needs to be put on making available the most accessible scholarship, not on making more scholarship available. Practical implications – Journals and publishers should concentrate on, and research councils and similar bodies insist upon, ensuring high quality critical review and editing, not cost-free access. Originality/value – The debate on Open Access has put its emphasis in the wrong place. Rather than easier access to more scholarship, increased resource devoted to pre-publication review, revision and editing is the most important development to ensure the greatest advances in research and scholarship.

In 2004, linguist and cognitive scientist George Lakoff popularized the idea of using metaphors and “frames” to promote progressive political issues. Although his theories have since been criticized, this article asserts that his framing is still relevant to the debate over copyright law as applied to digital publishing, particularly in the field of scholarly journals. Focusing on issues of copyright term extension and the public domain, open access, educational fair use, and the stewardship and preservation of digital resources, this article explores how to advocate for change more effectively — not by putting a better “spin” on proposed policies — but by using coherent narratives to frame the issues in language linked to progressive values.
