Abstract. Academic publishing is a specific segment of the publishing industry that is crucial for disseminating and commercializing scientific results and creating innovations. The study examines the business aspects of academic publishing and the role of intellectual property management in current business models. The research subject is academic publishing, and the object is the business models that transform academic publishing into a business with a high-profit margin. The author’s thesis is that the objectives of academic publishing should align with the primary goal of scientific communication – the sharing and dissemination of scientific knowledge, which is achieved through open access. Open access, as a model of intellectual property management, is the key instrument enabling the timely utilization of scientific results in academic publications, fostering innovation across all industries, and achieving the goals of open science.
