  • Analysis of copyright statements and licensing terms in a sample of scientific journals.
  • Surveys and interviews with researchers and publishers to gather perspectives on copyright challenges.

    • Main Results:

    • Copyright restrictions were found to be prevalent in scientific publications, often limiting full-text access and reuse.
    • A significant portion of researchers reported encountering difficulties in accessing or reusing copyrighted scientific content.
    • Publishers expressed concerns about balancing copyright enforcement with the goals of open science.

    Conclusions:

    • Copyright, while intended to protect creators, can inadvertently impede the open dissemination and application of scientific knowledge.
    • Revisiting copyright policies and promoting more flexible licensing models could enhance research accessibility and accelerate scientific progress.
    • Further research is needed to quantify the precise economic and scientific impact of copyright on research outcomes.
