Abstract

This study aimed to understand the application and types of Creative Commons Licenses (CCL) in Korean journals and to increase understanding of the state of open access in South Korea. The study collected and analyzed CCL-related information from the websites of 2,097 KCI journals and compared the findings with DOAJ journals and previous research. The results of the study are summarized as follows. Firstly, 18% (377 journals) of the KCI journals adopted CCL, and among them, approximately 90% (337 journals) were in the field of STEM. There were few academic journals applying CCL in humanities and social sciences fields. Secondly, the types of CCL adopted by KCI journals were NC licenses (90%), with CC BY-NC (85%) being the most common. This is a significant difference from DOAJ journals, where 52% of academic journals applied CC BY or CC BY-SA. However, fewer journals applied licenses of the ND licenses than DOAJ journals and Spanish journals. Thirdly, 44% (167) of the 377 academic journals that applied CCL were simultaneously for free in public databases and sold for a fee in commercial databases. 33% (125) were publicly available for free in public databases, and 9% (33) were sold in commercial databases.

본 연구는 국내 학술지의 CCL 적용 여부와 그 유형을 파악하여 국내의 오픈액세스 현황에 대한 이해를 높이고자 하였다. 한국연구재단 등재지 2,097종의 홈페이지에 공개된 CCL 관련 정보를 수집하여 분석한 후 DOAJ 학술지 및 선행연구와 비교하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 등재지의 18%(377)가 CCL을 적용하고 있었고 이중 90%(337)는 STM 및 농수해양학 분야였으며 인문사회 분야에서 CCL을 적용한 학술지는 거의 없었다. 둘째, 등재지가 채택한 CCL 유형은 NC 계열이 90%, 특히 CC BY-NC가 85%로 가장 많았다. 해외의 DOAJ 학술지에서 CC BY 또는 CC BY-SA를 적용한 학술지가 52%인 것과 큰 차이가 있었다. 그러나 DOAJ 학술지와 스페인어 학술지에 비하면 ND 유형의 라이선스를 적용한 학술지는 더 적었다. 셋째, CCL을 적용한 학술지 377종의 44%(167)는 공공DB에서는 무료로 공개되는 동시에 상용DB에서는 유료로 판매되고 있었고, 33%(125)는 공공DB에서 무료로 공개되고 있었으며, 9%(33)는 상용DB에서 판매되고 있었다.
