Wissenschaftliche Publikationen und „freier“ Zugang – alternative Geschäftsmodelle oder Freibier für alle?

Abstract

Subscription or license fees do not pay for the achievements of science but for publishing services necessary to provide access for the interested audience. This should be considered when talking about changes in the German copyright. It also is possible to realize open access in a way that takes into account financial needs as well as the interests of all stakeholders involved. (English)
