Open access refers to the free availability of scientific publications online, and free of restrictions, and is in Brazil, predominantly achieved by the so-called “gold route” of open access, that is, open access journal publication. The quantity of these publications has grown continuously since the launch of the SciELO platform in Brazil in 1997, and the OJS system promoted by IBICT. Despite the worldwide dissemination of open access concepts and practices, particularly in relation to copyright and authorization for reuse and archiving in repositories, the hypothesis raised here is that there are still conflicting positions in policies of some Brazilian open access journals regarding copyright re-use by reader-users. The paper reports a study that aimed to analyze and investigate the concept of open access explicitly and implicitly used in the set of journals studied, to assess their degree of “openness”, as recently defined in the pamphlet “HowOpenIsIt?” published by SPARC, PloS and OASPA. Copyright policies were studied in a sample of 117 current journals in the fields of Biological and Health Sciences from SciELO- Brazil. The results show that there is a variety of appropriations and meanings of the term “open access” by the journals assessed, manifested chiefly in the periodicals´ copyright policy. This variety gives room for confusion regarding reuse and author rights, such rights being intrinsic to strong definitions of open access.
