This article shows how the copyright influence the scientific documentation and its circulation. Nowadays the free intellectual contents are hindered, instead they must “live” in “open” places. The control of intellectual documents among different kinds of people (such as publishers, business aggregators and so on) is a proof of high quality, but consequentily is a strong obstacle for the growth of scientific researches. One of the main problems is the expensive costs of scientific magazines: it is a negative meaning for the impact factor into the scientific community.
The second problem is the copyright in the scientific researches. If we solve the first one, then we will solve even the second one. Nowadays the laws about copyright don’t consider the two specific canals, that is the research and business copyright. We must support a strong line between these two different worlds, especially we must help the author of scientific works. The business rules must be changed. The OpenArchive movement is a new step that we must consider more and more: international experiences such as OAI (Open Archive Initiative), Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) and Free Online Scholarship (FOS). These projects have the aim to change the current rules of accademic research: only in this way we may have a lot of benefits for all society both business and cultural levels, too.
