Description

As a result of development in Internet and expansion of online journal, it was inevitable that scholarly publishers have also adopted Digital Rights Management (DRM) in order to protect their rights in electronic content. Most of DRM software in scholarly publishing has been incorporated in PDF files by using such as plug-ins. While online journal article in PDF format is called "reprint version", DRM was employed to both electronic reprint and to electronic document delivery service. Wide adoption of DRM technology has, on the other hand, raised doubts among end users since it imposes a technical burden. It is desirable to have a Digital Rights Management system that would be convenient and suited for both rightsholders and end users.
