Abstract

Open access is currently one of the most booming topics and a movement with great transformation potential in scholarly communication. It has been approached from several perspectives such as: the political economy of science, the asymmetry between central and peripheral science (Guédon, 2011), and the democratization of science in Latin America (Banerjee et al., 2015). Scholarly communication is a wide term “that refers to the many different ways [emphasis added] in which authors and creators of scholarly and scientific work share information” (Anderson, 2018, para. 1) with everyone―inside and outside academia―about the work they are doing and their findings. It is important to note that the system of creation, evaluation, dissemination, use, and preservation of writings that comprises scholarly communication (Wright, 2019) is diverse and inclusive.
