Publishing Beyond the Market: Open Access, Care, and the Commons
by Samuel A. Moore
Publisher: University of Michigan Press 2025
ISBN-13: 9780472905225
Number of pages: 235
Description:
The author argues that the move to open access should focus less on the free accessibility of research outputs and more on who controls the publications and infrastructures for scholarly communication. The book reveals the shortcomings of market-centric and policy-based approaches to open access book and journal publishing, particularly their tendency to reinforce conservatism, commercialism, and private control of publishing.
