Open access – the who, what, where and how
A decade ago, open access was an idealistic goal, and increasingly it’s becoming a controversial reality. From predatory publishers to exorbitant article processing charges (APCs), the discussion about equity, access, and a researcher led publication system can sometimes seem besides the point. During this discussion, I would like to highlight what open access is and what it doesn’t have to be, and how there is a need to reframe the conversation we are currently having.
