The book “Open Divide: Critical Studies on Open Access” edited by Joachim Schöpfel and me, Ulrich Herb, was published in 2018. It features contributions from various authors, including Richard Poynder, who provides the preface, and other scholars such as Jutta Haider, Elena Šimukovič, Samuel Moore, Soenke Zehle, Hélène Prost, Florence Piron, Iryna Kuchma, Elizabeth Mlambo, Reggie Raju, Leslie Chan, Beatriz de los Arcos, and Martin Weller. The volume consists of critical studies that explore the complexities and challenges of the Open Access movement, addressing its impact on scholarly communication and the global knowledge landscape.
