This recent piece from @kaythaney strikes all the right ideas in framing today’s challenges faced by #openaccess / #openscience. And it’s in line with the #ParadoxofOpen framing that I’ve been working on.
Kaitlin argues that Open Access has become big business, and that revenues flow more quickly for the companies than the benefits for the communities producing knowledge. That’s the gist of the Paradox of Open: the commons are being exploited.
I like the point that thanks to OA, and through the exploitative modes of publishers, “OA is free to read but not free or affordable to publish”.
And Kaitlin argues that publishers would ideally dedicate a portion of profits back into the communities (the commons). +1 to that. That’s the reason that I really like the Wikimedia Enterprise project, which shows that payments back to the commons can be part of an open framework.
The problem wiki Wikimedia ENterprise is that it is voluntary - so the big question is, how can such redistribution be mandated?
A starting point would be for #openX communities (not just #OA / #openscience but also #opensource, for example, have a shared position on the need for such redistribution.
