July 2002
American Association for the Advancement of Science
This report is the result of a AAAS project that examined intellectual property issues associated with electronic publishing in science. The emergence of electronic journals in scientific publication has the potential to transform the management and communication of scientific information, and stakeholders associated with scientific publishing are engaged in assessing their promises and pitfalls. What seems clear is that electronic publication is not likely to reach its full potential without a stable legal framework that balances the protection of researchers' intellectual property with the open dissemination and exchange of scientific information.
