Description

Open Divide: Critical Studies on Open Access By Ulrich Herb and Joachim Schöpfel Library Juice Press, 2018 The open access movement has transformed scientific communication, providing large-scale access to articles, theses, and dissertations. Fifteen years after the Budapest Declaration, this book invites a critical assessment of the concept and its reality, with a focus on its impact in countries of the Global South. While open access has been successful in disseminating scientific information, it is essential to maintain a critical stance beyond statistics. This collection of seventeen short studies by scientists and librarians from different continents explores various aspects of open access, including its benefits, challenges, and potential alternatives. By examining these topics, this book aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of the ongoing transformation in scientific communication. Through its diverse range of perspectives, Open Divide offers a thought-provoking analysis of the open access movement, encouraging readers to consider the complexities and implications of this significant shift in scientific practice.
