Summary:

From Google's English:  "In these twenty years, Open Access has established itself as a topic from the edge of the progressive to the ubiquitous form of publication and thus also to an institutionalized field of work in libraries, scientific institutions, research sponsors and scientific publishers as well as research policy. Today we are at a point where national and federal open access strategies have been enacted, policies of sponsors and universities prescribe the publication of texts and research data according to the FAIR and CARE principles and read-and-publish agreements at national level level have become the norm. Resources were mobilized and infrastructure built - from repositories to open access transformation contracts for, among other things, access to large journal portfolios, to human resources and systems, to check compliance with Open Access requirements of scientific organizations and sponsors as well as compliance with contractual clauses. To a certain extent, and still with untapped potential, open access has become the norm in the scientific community. A normal case that costs hundreds of millions of euros and francs a year in the DACH region alone - for licenses, for personnel hours, for hardware and software. It has become an industry - one that can polemically be called "Big OA". which costs hundreds of millions of euros and francs every year in the DACH region alone - for licenses, for staff hours, for hardware and software. It has become an industry - one that can polemically be called "Big OA". which costs hundreds of millions of euros and francs a year in the DACH region alone - for licenses, for staff hours, for hardware and software. It has become an industry - one that can polemically be called "Big OA".  Looking back at the Berlin Declaration and the atmosphere in which this and other declarations were written, doubts quickly arise. Is this really what Open Access should be? ... What interests us in issue #44 are these counter-movements in the area of ​​Open Access. Not Big OA, but the opposite – small OA or, as we like to call it, Grassroots OA . Models that researchers themselves or libraries and other memory institutions might want to use to openly publish knowledge and data rather than discuss them. Projects that are not aimed at large profit margins, but idealistically at the dissemination and ordering of information and knowledge. Applications that may also run under the hand of the established models and therefore practically no longer appear in libraries - whose work structures are more and more oriented towards functioning within the framework of "Big OA". ..."
