Abstract

Scientists as authors have different attitude towards copyright, as opposed to authors of fiction and other publications, which is mostly based on different publishing motives. The dominant publishing model of scientific papers is still based on scientists' willingness to publish without payment as well as to sign away their copyright to the publisher. As a result the authors are often unable to use their papers later, not even for educational purposes. Research of Croatian publishers of scholarly journals and their acceptance and attitude towards alternative, new publishing models (preprint and postprint archives as well as personal web pages), has shown that a great number of publishers are not well-acquainted with the new models and have no clear attitude towards them. The majority has also not yet incorporated these models in their copyright policy. According to the results, 74% of Croatian publishers do not allow preprint publication (preprint archive or web page), but on the other hand postprint publishing (postprint archive or web page) is allowed in 65%.
