“Who Owns Our Knowledge?” is the theme for this year’s International Open Access (OA) Week (October 20-26). It asks a pointed question about the present moment and how, in a time of disruption, scholarly and research communities can reassert control over the knowledge they produce. It also challenges us to reflect on not only who has access to education and research but on how knowledge is created and shared, where it has come from, and whose voices are recognized and valued as knowledge producers.
