Open access: legal aspects
Joris DEENE
Advocaat Everest Advocaten
26/10/2018
Titel
General
3
 Federal bill of 30 July 2018 (O.J. 5 September 2018), in force since
15 September 2018
 new article XI.196 §2/1 in the Code of Economic Law
 Decree of the French Community of 3 May 2018 regarding the
introduction of an open access policy on scientific publications (O.J.
28 May 2018), in force since 14 September 2018
 The Federal legislator is competent for intellectual property
legislation (such as copyright)
 The communities (Flemish, German, French) are competent for
legislation on education and scientific recherche
Article XI.196 §2/1 CEL
Titel
Article XI.196 §2/1
5
 The author of a scientific article…
-> no books, or chapter or contribution in a (congress) books
 …which is the result of at least for 50% publicly funded research ..…
 … keeps the right to make the manuscript available for free in open access
to the public….
-> Manuscript = postprint version (after it has been peer reviewed)
 even if (s)he has, in accordance with article XI.165, transferred or licensed
(general of exclusive) his/her rights to a publisher of a journal…
….after the expiration of 12 months for humanities and social sciences and 6
months for other sciences starting the first publication in a journal….
 …. If the source of the first publication is mentioned
Titel
Article XI.196 §2/1
6
 The publishing contract can provide a shorter term
 This term can be extended by royal decree
 This right can not be waived
 This right is of mandatory law and is applicable regardless of the by parties
chosen law if a connection with Belgium can be localized.
 This right is also applicable on works created before the 15th of September
2018 which do not belong at that moment to the public domain.
Titel
Article XI.196 §2/1
7
 Article XI.196 §2/1 CEL is an addition to the current regulation of
publishing contracts: not a new open access exception in favor of universities
or research institutions
 The author keeps the right to decide wither or not (s)he makes his/her
work available in open access. Article XI.196 §2/1 is not an obligation for a
researcher to put his/her article in an open repository of a university.
 The new federal copyright legislation only gives the researcher the right to
so do
 Solution for universities and research institutions: additional legislation
which obliges the author to make his/her work available in open access (so
not a copyright issue any more but a mere administrative issue between a
researcher and his institution)
Decree of the French Community of 3
May 2018
Titel
Decree of 3 May 2018
9
 The aim of this decree is to stimulate the open access circulation of the

the French community)
 This decree is applicable on publications in a journal (published at least
once per year)
Titel
Decree of 3 May 2018
10
 Researchers are obliged to deposit their publications in an institutional
digital archive, in extenso, immediately after the approval of the article by
the publisher (art. 5)

6)
 In the case of a nomination, promotion, grant of research funds, only the
publications in this institutional digital archive may be used in the evaluation
of the publications of a researcher (art. 7)
Titel
Decree of 3 May 2018
11
 Researchers have to allow open access of their publications deposited in the
institutional digital archive (art. 8)
-> with respect of the embargo period of 12 or 6 months (see also federal
bill)
-> during this embargo period the author can send a copy of his/her
publications to an interested person on personalized request
