TY - JOUR AB - <p>In this article, I propose exploring open access publishing through the lenses of Knowledge Commons. Instead of focusing on users’ rights to access and reuse the output under open copyright licensing conditions, I study the governance of the academic publishing ecosystem, and its political economy, technical and labour infrastructure. Based on selected examples, I discuss how they comply with the concept of the commons.</p><p>I use analytical frameworks from the Ostromian literature of the governance of Knowledge Commons to provide insights on the various steps of academic publishing work as a process. I then analyse a scope of open access publishing projects, including gold, green, diamond, platinum and pirate libraries. Finally, I draw from practices a repertoire of advocacy actions and I make recommendations for academics to develop policies supporting Academic Commons.</p><p>&nbsp;</p> AU - Melanie Dulong de Rosnay DA - 2021/3// DO - 10.16997/wpcc.913 IS - 1 VL - 16 PB - University of Westminster Press PY - 2021 TI - Open Access Models, Pirate Libraries and Advocacy Repertoires: Policy Options for Academics to Construct and Govern Knowledge Commons T2 - Westminster Papers in Communication and Culture UR - https://www.westminsterpapers.org/article/id/913/ ER -
