Since the modes of publishing content have changed in the digital age, Open Access (OA) practice could be an effective response towards the challenges generated by the ongoing technological advancements. It could respond to the competing concerns of copyright protection and equitable access to information, simultaneously. The paper analyzes the interconnections between commercial publishers’ and authors’ interest and argue that Open Access Repositories could be considered as an instrument towards common benefits. In the context of continuous technological growth OA could be also seen as an alternative instrument for the protection of intellectual property to facilitate modern or digital publishing and benefit publisher and intellectual creator, as well. Traditionally, commercial publishers are ‘gatekeepers’ of the standards of merit of academic works even though they get almost all of the profits. However, while they rely on academics’ expertise to remain commercially viable they do not pay for this expertise, appropriately. In contemporary days it is feasible for authors to not rely on commercial publishers. It is therefore in the interests of commercial publishers that academics keep publishing with them. As gatekeepers of standards of merit they can benefit the academic world and remain viable themselves. This claim will be substantiated with examples of relevant licensing forms and other initiatives of OA.

商业出版商的角色演变和开放获取知识库的未来：企业社会责任的潜力

由于发布内容的模式在数字时代发生了变化，开放获取 (OA) 实践可以有效应对持续技术进步带来的挑战。它可以同时回应版权保护和公平获取信息的相互竞争的关注。该论文分析了商业出版商和作者利益之间的相互联系，并认为开放获取知识库可以被视为实现共同利益的工具。在技​​术不断发展的背景下，开放获取也可以被视为保护知识产权的替代工具，以促进现代或数字出版并使出版商和知识创造者受益。传统上，商业出版商是学术作品价值标准的“守门人”，即使他们获得了几乎所有的利润。然而，虽然他们依靠学者的专业知识来保持商业可行性，但他们并没有适当地为这种专业知识付费。在当代，作者不依赖商业出版商是可行的。因此，学术界继续与他们一起出版符合商业出版商的利益。作为绩效标准的守门人，他们可以使学术界受益并保持自己的生存能力。此声明将通过相关许可表格和其他 OA 举措的示例来证实。在当代，作者不依赖商业出版商是可行的。因此，学术界继续与他们一起出版符合商业出版商的利益。作为绩效标准的守门人，他们可以使学术界受益并保持自己的生存能力。此声明将通过相关许可表格和其他 OA 举措的示例来证实。在当代，作者不依赖商业出版商是可行的。因此，学术界继续与他们一起出版符合商业出版商的利益。作为绩效标准的守门人，他们可以使学术界受益并保持自己的生存能力。此声明将通过相关许可表格和其他 OA 举措的示例来证实。
