The promise of open access for the global South has not been fully met. Publishing is dominated by Northern publishers, which disadvantages Southern authors through platform capitalism and open access models requiring article processing charges to publish. This article argues that through the employment of bibliodiversity — a sustainable, anticolonial ethos and practice developed in Latin America — the South can reclaim and decolonize open access and nurture scholarly communities. Self‐determination and locality are at the core of bibliodiversity which rejects the domination of international, English‐language journal publishing. As articulated by the Jussieu Call, wide‐ranging, scholarly‐community‐based, non‐profit and sustainable models for open access are integral to bibliodiversity, as is reform of research evaluation systems. Predatory publishing exploits open access and perpetuates the marginalization of Southern scholars. Predatory journals are often also conflated with legitimate Southern journals. The article concludes with a discussion of Southern open access initiatives, highlighting large‐scale infrastructure in Latin America and library‐based publishing in Africa, which express the true spirit of open access as a commons for knowledge as a public good.

中心的图书馆多样性：开放获取的非殖民化

尚未实现全球南方开放获取的承诺。出版由北方出版商主导，这通过平台资本主义和开放式访问模式（需要文章处理费用来出版）使南方作者处于不利地位。本文认为，通过运用书目多样性（一种在拉丁美洲发展起来的可持续的，反殖民的精神和习俗），南方可以使开放获取和培育学术界重新获得殖民化和非殖民化。自决和地方性是图书馆多样性的核心，拒绝国际英语期刊出版的统治。正如Jussieu Call所阐明的那样，广泛的，基于学术社区的，非营利的和可持续的开放获取模型是图书馆多样性不可或缺的一部分，而研究评估系统的改革也是如此。掠夺性出版利用开放获取，并使南方学者处于边缘地位。掠夺性期刊通常也与合法的南方期刊混为一谈。本文以对南方开放获取计划的讨论作为结尾，重点介绍了拉丁美洲的大规模基础设施和非洲的图书馆出版，这些内容表达了开放获取作为知识和公共物品的公共基础的真正精神。
