[GOAL] Knowledge & equity: key points, and the 10-minute video version

[Heather Morrison]

greetings ~

Dr. Rahman & I would like to thank everyone who has provided comments on our paper Knowledge and Equity: Analysis of 3 models to date. These will inform a later version. In the meantime, for those who may be too busy to read the full article, here are the key points in a nutshell and a link to a 10-minute YouTube version.

Key points:

  *   We conclude that it is possible to develop and assess open access initiatives from the perspectives of whether they are likely to help or harm knowledge equity or knowledge justice (the ability of all qualified to participate in the global scholarly conversation)
  *   We recommend that OA initiatives and policies undertake a knowledge equity analysis

The 10-minute YouTube video is available here:

best,
