Open Divide
Critical Studies on Open Access
Open Divide: Critical Studies on Open Access is an insightful anthology that explores the dynamic and evolving landscape of Open Access in scholarly communication. Building on the foundation laid by its predecessor, this new collection features fresh contributions from a diverse array of academics, librarians and other stakeholders who critically engage with the complexities of Open Access today.
As the movement continues to gain traction, this anthology addresses vital questions that challenge conventional wisdom: What barriers persist in scholarly communication? Who are the true beneficiaries of the Open Access transformation? How does Open Access impact scientific integrity and the quality of research outputs?
With insights into recent developments — such as the rise of Diamond Open Access, the influence of political initiatives like Plan S, and the ongoing commercialization of scholarly publishing — this collection provides a comprehensive examination of the current state of Open Access. "Open Divide" not only documents the progress made since its inception but also confronts the challenges and controversies that remain, making it an essential resource for anyone invested in the future of knowledge dissemination and scholarly communication.
