Abstract:

[Purposes] In order to better protect the legitimate rights and interests of authors and journal publishing units, regulation of copyright agreements for scientific journals should be implemented. [Methods] This paper took the copyright agreement of 120 comprehensive scientific journals in the fourth natural science category in Chinese Core Journal Catalogue (2020 Edition) as the research object. Using empirical research methods, this paper analyzed the current situation and problems of copyright agreements for Chinese scientific journals in terms of agreement names, types of transfer or exclusive license rights, resolution of liability for breach of contract and disputes, and digital publishing information for authors. [Findings] Research has shown that some journal publishing units have a deviation in their understanding of the nature of copyright agreements signed. Copyright agreements have issues such as unclear agreements on the types of rights transferred, inability to meet digital publishing needs, lack of clear liability for breach of contract, and lack of dispute resolution methods. [Conclusions] Journal publishing units should formulate scientific and reasonable copyright transfer or exclusive license agreements, strengthen the protection of digital publication copyright, clarify the ownership of rights for repeated transfers or exclusive licenses, improve the registration system for journal copyright transfer and exclusive licenses, and ensure the legal validity of copyright agreements.
