학술논문 오픈액세스와 저작권법 관련 쟁점 연구

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion on the open access of academic papers. The sharing of knowledge through open access of academic papers is believed to be consistent with the ultimate goal of copyright law aimed at contributing to the development of cultural and related industries. For academic papers written with research funded by public funds, it is necessary to have more open access to the public. For this purpose, it is necessary to make implementation obligatory by the law rather than relying on the authors, academic journals and publishers to autonomously disclose them. The introduction of the legal provisions in the copyright law requires conferring a secondary publication right to authors as in the case of Germany and the Netherlands rather than imposing a provide obligation to authors, academic journals and publishers. I think it is considered desirable regulation that provides free of charge to the public after the period expires without directly infringing on their rights. In the specific legislative process, it is necessary to draw up a reasonable period and to specify it in the law through investigation and compiling opinions on the necessary period in relation to the embargo period from the first publication to the open access, and primary applying open access to academic papers funded by public funds, and gradually expanding it to other papers is believed to minimize the backlash and shock from the sudden enforcement. In addition, in the long term, I think that it is necessary to actively discussion on the subject of open access academic papers, such as short academic articles and other papers, in addition to those published in periodical journals.
