ABSTRACT
At the beginning of this book, I identified three related critiques of open access with which I have now engaged. First was the critique that business models associated with OA are often exploitative and exclusionary. Second was the critique that incentive structures in the academy, reinforced by OA, constrain or restrict participation from less-well-funded institutions and regions, including low- and middle-income countries. Third was the critique that knowledge systems of the Global North enabled by OA are being imposed on the Global South, marginalising indigenous knowledges.
