ABSTRACT
Understanding the shape of the OA environment is critical for our study. Now we have provided a narrative overview of key developments, we can go on in this chapter to identify provisionally the main components of the OA environment rather more formally. We aim to build on the account in the previous chapter to set out OA in its constituent parts. At this stage, our analysis will be tentative but will be important in establishing some of the key concepts that will provide context for the rest of our study.
