This article explores some of the consequences of open access (OA) for scholars in the global South, centring on what constitutes their equal participation in the global circuit of knowledge production. Building on critical reflections by contributors to the ‘Power Shifts’ project within the From Poverty to Power blog, the limitations of the OA model are shown to be tied to a series of structural features characteristic of the twin systems of academic research and publishing. What the challenges faced by many scholars in the global South demonstrate is that ‘openness’, or inclusion in this format, is not yet the guarantee for equality that many had hoped. The article frames this as a systemic knowledge issue at a global scale that cannot be remedied by a simple reform to academic publishing. The article points to some creative efforts by scholars to forge alternative models for scholarly communication that move away from a marketized and restrictive model of knowledge production, and towards epistemic justice. The authors conclude that while OA represents a positive step forward in making knowledge a public good, it is no substitute for a more comprehensive rethink to pluralize our ways of knowing.

一扇门打开:另一扇门关闭?

本文探讨了开放获取(OA)对全球南方学者的一些后果,重点是构成他们平等参与全球知识生产循环的因素。建立在从贫困到权力的“权力转移”项目贡献者的批判性思考的基础上在博客中,OA模型的局限性被证明与学术研究和出版双生系统的一系列结构特征有关。南方许多国家的学者所面临的挑战表明,“开放”或这种形式的包容性还不是许多人希望的平等保证。本文将其视为全球性的系统性知识问题,无法通过对学术出版的简单改革来解决。本文指出了学者们为建立学术交流的替代模式做出的一些创造性努力,这些替代模式已从知识生产的市场化和限制性模型转向认知正义。作者得出的结论是,虽然OA代表了将知识变成公共物品的积极进步,
