In the Dark

I’m reminded by multiple sources that this week is International Open Access Week 2023, with a theme of “Community over Commercialization”.

Of course, round my way, every week is Open Access Week.

The ongoing OA revolution should involve a radical reinvention/disruption of commercialized academic publishing instead of letting exploitative profit-making private publishing firms keep on fleecing the scholarly community. There is much still to do, and we’ll only succeed if more people turn words into actions.
