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.

최근 사회 각 분야에서 빅데이터를 분석하여 새로운 가치를 찾아내려는 시도가 급속히 증가하고 있다. 그러나 빅데이터를 분석하여 소기의 성과를 얻으려면 한 기관이나 기업이 자체로 보유하고 있는 데이터 뿐 아니라 외부에 있는 가치 있는 데이터가 필수적으로 필요한 경우가 대부분이다. 현재 빅데이터 이용에서 가장 어려운 것은 대용량 데이터를 다루는 하드웨어나 분석 소프트웨어 도입이 아니라 핵심적으로 필요한 외부 빅데이터를 어떻게 확보할 것인가이다. 본 고에서는 빅데이터를 효과적으로 공유하고 활용하기 위한 방안으로 오픈 데이터 인터페이스(ODI)를 제안한다. ODI를 사용함으로써 프로그램이 직접 읽을 수 있는(machine readable) 데이터 공유가 확대되고, 데이터 매쉬업이 쉬워지며, 개인의 데이터 가공 능력을 거래할 수 있는 생태계 구현이 가능해질 것이다.

In this paper, we have made an analysis of dCollection license system and have presented the development subject based on various case study of digital rights Management( DRM ) under domestic and abroad Open Access circumstances. For this study, fist we made an investigation into the concept and the technical component of the copyright, license and DRM that act as obstacle to open access. It is hoped that the first study will be able to help people better understand the relationship between the related technique and Open Access System. Second we analyzed Creative Commons, RoMEO, Dspace system as abroad cases and Kyungpook National University's DRM system and Seoul National University's DRM system as domestic cases for copyright protection under open access circumstances. finally we will face up to the domestic open access reality and plan the future by presenting the development subject through dCollection license system analysis.

From 1990s the Ministry of Education and KERIS have developed nationwide academic resource sharing and service system based on universities, and have contributed to bridge the gap of information and to facilitate resource sharing between universities. Meanwhile, in Japan which starts 15 years earlier than us, the Ministry of Education and NII built nationwide academic resource sharing and service system with starting on the project of university holding resource sharing and until now have shown similar aspect of development like us. But lately, since information environment has been changing rapidly, Japan try to find new paradigm which goes around electronic resources management substitute for physical resources and open access based academic communication, institutional repository which disseminate university's research output to the outside world. This study compare academic resource sharing and service system between Japan and Korea and try to suggest for Korean academic resource sharing and service system development. In Korea, firstly we should try to replacing published resources management system to electronic resources', secondly, reorganizing oversea's resource sharing and service system, thirdly, reactivating institutional repository toward open access, finally, unification of distracted driving force.

This study used the Unpaywall API, one of the open tools to track the OA version, to empirically identify the OA of 3,905 papers that have been published by Korean corresponding authors since 2015 in international journals. As a result, the following facts were found. First, less than 30% of papers have been open accessed, and more than half of them were bronze OA. Secondly, the archiving site of the Green OA papers was found not to be domestic but mainly subject repositories or institutional repositories of overseas universities to which co-authors belong. Third, only 19.6% of research fund granted papers were open accessed and half of them were in the medical field. In contrast to the international trends in which the OA papers showed higher citations, the analyzed OA papers showed no higher citations than the non-OA papers.

This study examined perceptions of 109 professors at doctorate-granting universities in the U.S. who have self-archived in Institutional Repositories(IRs), predicated on the Diffusion of Innovations Theory. The majority of the faculty learned about IRs through the contact from IR staff or their presentations. Relating to five characteristics of an innovation, digital preservation and usage statistics of an IR were considered to be its relative advantage. The principle of Open Access(OA) was found to have compatibility with the values that professors ultimately pursued. The trialability of an IR was determined by the fact that IRs were adopted by faculty through the participation of pilot projects. Professors who gained positive and visible results from IR adoption seemed more strongly support the repository. In addition, it is necessary for IRs to provide stable and effective services that support the continued adoption of IRs.

This paper examined what factors affect the immediacy index showing the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. Not only Seventy-one immediacy indexes for subject field biology on JCR 2008 edition were gathered, but also many characteristics of scholarly journals that may influence the indexes directly or indirectly were aggregated. Simple correlation coefficient analysis, factor analysis, and regression analysis were performed on the paper. Therefore factors such as physical volume, availability, forthcoming issue, age and language explaining 67.64% of total variance were identified. After regression analysis using these factors as independent variables, the results were statistically significant. The results showed physical volumes, the total pages of publication, have an influence upon immediacy indexes obviously, although it is expected that journal reputations may affect immediacy indexes. Generally open access journals had high immediacy indexes. High ranked journals on immediacy index were apt to be issued frequently, uploaded very often on PMC, and published in major countries including United States and United Kingdom.

This study is about the copyright policies by Korean government and the revision of the article 31 library exemption provision in the Copyright Act of Korea for noncommercial scholarly works considering through cases of copyright disputes occurred in Korea during the $2005{\sim}2007$. This study proposes that works not for sale including thesis should be exempted from the copyright compensation in the article 31(5) in the Copyright Act of Korea based on the properties of noncommercial scholarly works and the regulations on works for not for sale in the current Korean copyright act. Also, this study reports that the copyright trust of scholarly articles by the copyright trust management agency is illegal in part and the government which has a duty to direct it has to control the illegal actions. Finally, this study proposes that noncommercial scholarly works such as thesis and scientific articles are to be open access and Korean government should develop open policies for them.

This study attempts to measure visibility and impact of university repositories in South Korea with the help of web-sites, OpenDOAR, ROAR and RWR. Further understanding the self-archiving status of South Korea, the analysis results were compared with the reputation and power of major Asian countries' university repositories. The results showed that only nine institutional repositories of the universities in South Korea were active. There was only one South Korean university repository in the RWR top 500. All the other repositories ranked in bottom level. However, among Asian countries, Japan and Taiwan have established many institutional repositories. They had 257 and 52 repositories respectively. Fortunately, some leading university repositories in South Korea began activating self-archiving with the help of linking their own research outputs management system. Also, the attempts by other South Korean university repositories expect a substantial quantitative growth in the near future.

The most remarkable business model to Have merged in electronic publishing is the so-called 'Big Deal'. Major Publishers have begun offering libraries bundled packages that are across journals and across print and electronic versions. This paper examined consortium conditions of scholarly journals in the light of big deal. The result skewed that various pricing models have been appeared and freedoms to choose collections have been on the increase in comparison with the past. But many major Publishers have adopted a typical big deal contract condition that a library enters into a long-term arrangement to get access to large electronic journal collections at a dramatic discount interchange of a promise not to cut print subscriptions. The publishing and library communities need to find alternative pricing models that provide better deals for those disadvantaged by the prevalence of the big deal. Much in the world of scholarly publication is changing, combination of traditional publishing and open access publishing may well be gained public favor in the future.
