Abstract

Objective. The study presents relevant items of a literature review on scholarly communication, open access to scientific literature, the role of the institutions in the context of public policies, as well as author rights and open access to scientific literature. Method. The work consists of an analytic-descriptive study based on a bibliographic search and a documental analysis, within a qualitative approach. It aimed to identify relevant issues to the construction of a theoretical framework on the themes studied. Results. Based on the literature and legal document analysis, a theoretical framework has been built to the study of author rights in scholarly communication in the context of open access. It takes account of the ACF, which focuses on coalitions. A new model to the scholarly communication process is presented, including activities related to author rights. The study centers its focus on the Brazilian context and on the importance of institutions to public policies. Conclusions. The ACF approach offers a model to the identification of coalitions that really reflects a nation Agenda in the context of scholarly communication and the open access.
