Summary

Author is describing reversionary right in the context of opening up scientific publications by the authors. From the publication: "Article 57, section 1 allows to renounce or terminate the contract, if the acquirer of the author's economic rights or the licensee does not start the dissemination within the agreed time limit or if there is no agreed time limit, within two years from the acceptance of the work. From the authors' point of view, who would like to publish their publications in open access, the usefulness of this provision is limited, due to the fact that it only applies to situations in which the acquirer of the author's economic rights (e.g. the publisher) did not substantially start to disseminate.
