Abstract
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 sphere of copyright, gives examples from practices.
Keywords: Open Access, copyright, published works, authors, publishers, Internet, Article processing charge (APC), transformative agreements.
