(1) Where the author permits the inclusion of the work in a collection which is published periodically, then, in cases of doubt, the publisher or editor acquires an exclusive right of reproduction, distribution and making available to the public. However, the author may otherwise reproduce, distribute and make available to the public the work upon expiry of one year, unless otherwise agreed.
(2) Subsection (1) sentence 2 also applies to a contribution to a collection which is not published periodically the grant of permission of use for which does not entitle the author to payment of remuneration.
(3) Where the contribution is made available to a newspaper, the publisher or editor acquires a non-exclusive right of use, unless otherwise agreed. Where the author grants an exclusive right of use, he or she is authorised, immediately after the contribution is released, to otherwise reproduce or distribute it, unless otherwise agreed.
(4) The author of a scientific contribution which results from research activities at least half of which were financed by public funds and which was reprinted in a collection which is published periodically at least twice per year also has the right, if he or she has granted the publisher or editor an exclusive right of use, to make the contribution available to the public upon expiry of 12 months after first publication in the accepted manuscript version, unless this serves a commercial purpose. The source of the first publication must be cited. Any deviating agreement to the detriment of the author is ineffective.
