Copyright plays an important role in research publishing and Open Science. Transfer of copyright from researcher to publisher is the legal instrument that publishers use to establish paywalls to the research. This session will shed light on this transfer and its consequences for realization of Open Science, and present possible alternatives to the copyright transfer agreement. The session will also present the open copyright licenses, Creative Commons, which are the most used licenses within Open Science.
