OA 101 Session 3: Emerging Issues in OA - SPARC

"As demonstrated in our earlier sessions, Open Access (OA) has gained traction over the last three decades, and its principles and practices are widely applied across scholarly disciplines. That application has surfaced a number of issues that have complicated the adoption of OA—particularly its effectiveness in advancing equity. As OA has evolved, so have the possible barriers to adoption and dilemmas in whose interests are prioritized. This session will explore some of the ways in which the aspirations and benefits of OA are complicated by the legal, technical, and sociocultural context in which we work."
