著作权语境:一稿多投的民事利益衡平

Copyright Context:Civil Interest Balance of Duplicate Submission

现行著作权法本身未曾对学术论文一稿多投问题有过多限制,期刊禁止作者一稿多投的规定法律依据模糊,构成对作者著作权行使的不当妨碍。一稿多投具有著作权中的发表权属性,但并非意味着作者可以任性为之,作者投稿仍应受制于对期刊民事利益保护的兼顾。两者在学术论文投稿过程中出现的利益失衡现象,可在现有的民事法律框架下,进行自我约定调制。此外,在未来著作权法修订中应针对一稿多投现象制定具体的法律条文,明确期刊和作者的权义分配。通过约定和法定的双重调制结构模式,实现期刊和作者的利益衡平,可为解决一稿多投问题提供借鉴。

The current copyright law itself does not impose too many restrictions on the duplicate submission of academic papers.The legal basis for the prohibition of duplicate submission to journals is vague,which constitutes an improper obstruction to the exercise of authors’copyright.The fact that duplicate submission has the attribute of publication right in copyright does not mean that the author can act arbitrarily.The submission behavior should still be subject to the consideration of the protection of civil rights and interests of journals.The imbalance of interests between the two in the process of submitting academic papers can be modulated by self-agreement under the framework of existing civil law.In addition,in the future revision of copyright law,specific legal provisions should be formulated for the phenomenon of duplicate submission to clarify the distribution of rights and interests between journals and authors.Through the dual modulation of agreement and law,the problem of duplicate submission can be effectively solved,balancing the relevant interests of journals and authors.
