| description | This thesis offers an holistic approach to Open Access from a legal perspective. It does so by examining a series of interfaces between Open Access, law (especially but not exclusively copyright law), legal concepts and the Academy.
It addresses a number of Conceptual, Management, Compliance and Enforcement issues employing elements of Doctrinal, Theoretical, Historical, Comparative and Interdisciplinary methodologies.
The thesis frames its enquiry within a basic research question: Are copyright law and related legal concepts beneficial or disadvantageous in the implementation of OA across the Academy?
Its findings highlight a range of beneficial contributions of law and legal concepts to Open Access.
Finally it offers a series of suggestions and recommendations for driving forward better Open Access. |
