Abstract

This paper aims to show a historical and behavioral panorama of the scientific publishing market agents. Through theoretical references of Commons and Anticommons Tragedies, as well as Collective Action, this work analyzes the two niches that divides the studied market: system of restricted repositories and the system of open digital repositories. The traditional method of publishing content consists in a for-profit system, directed by commercial publishers which acquire revenues through the access fee of published articles. Due to budgetary constraint of many fostering researches institutions, as well as the ideology of democratization of information, there was a parallel movement of scientific publication focusing on free access to published content. The conflict between this two niches, characterizes the scientific publishing complexity, while it divides opinions and decisions of researches from academic communities around the world. This paper concludes that open access as a competitor system against the commercial publishing market, although it has considerable progress, it still does not enough strength to broke with the current paradigm.
