Grammatical and Terminological Notes
In this book, we spell the phrasal noun and postpositive compound adjective open access, the prepositive compound adjective open-access, and the heterogeneous group of individuals devoted to the advancement of open access, the Open Access Movement (although the extent to which there is a movement as such is a question that deserves ongoing scrutiny and empirical elaboration).
Contributors have used a variety of terms throughout this book to refer to the commonalities between Latin America, the Caribbean, the African continent, and elsewhere in a seemingly homogeneous bloc. Some of our contributors have preferred the term Global South, while others find this concept to be patronizing and simplistic and have used developing nations or developing countries instead.1 These latter variants, though, also have a potentially patronizing quality in suggesting a unified path to development that follows Anglo-American-European cultures, and so are disliked by others. Other possibilities that were not used include less economically developed countries, low- and lower-middle-income countries, and the majority world. Every single one of these terms has its own advantages and drawbacks. In this book, we chose to leave contributors free to select their own terms, particularly when authors culturally identified themselves with the regions they were describing. In our own editorial sections of the book, we have used the terms Global South and Global North to refer to a worldwide division in equity of wealth as a result of colonial legacies and ongoing prestige practices. We recognize that this editorial decision will appeal to some readers and meet with scorn from others. We apologize, in advance, to the latter group and hope that our sincere desire and advocacy for a more equal and just knowledge world can excuse our infelicities of language.
Contributor biographical statements, including titles, are presented as specified by authors rather than being subject to any stylistic unification.
Acknowledgments
This book has had a long gestation and the editors would both like to extend their thanks to the many individuals in the world of open access, its attendant conversations, and its often tricky implementations.
Martin Paul Eve would like to thank his colleagues at Birkbeck, University of London and, in particular, all those who have worked with him on the Open Library of Humanities: Caroline Edwards, Andy Byers, Rose Harris-Birtill, Mauro Sanchez, Helen Saunders, Paula Clemente Vega, and Marija Katic. Martin has also had tremendous support from academic colleagues in the School of Arts at Birkbeck, especially from Anthony Bale as Dean, Heike Bauer as Head of Department of English, Theatre, and Creative Writing, and Isabel Davis as Head of Research. Other individuals continue to inspire him with their intellects and generosity in the open-access and other research spaces, including Janneka Adema, Juan Pablo Alperin, Josh Bolick, Joe Brooker (for discussions about just blogging), Susan Bruce, Michael Collins, Geoff Crossick, Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Hilary Fraser, Rupert Gatti, Alex Gil, Gary Hall, Richard Hall, Patricia Hswe, Ben Johnson, Eileen A. F. Joy, Matthew Kirschenbaum, Stuart Lawson, Mark Leach, Alan Liu, Sam Moore, Ross Mounce, Cameron Neylon, Daniel ODonnell, Ernesto Priego, Rick Rylance, Johan Rooryck, Helen Snaith, Peter Suber, Demmy Verbeke, Don Waters, Peter Webster, and Jane Winters. The perils of such a list are, of course, that I have inevitably omitted people to whom I owe thanks and so I extend my apologies to those included in this sociology of absence. Thanks also from Martin to Gill Hinks, Ethel Gray, Rich Hinks, Alyce Magritte, Sue Eve-Jones, Juliet Eve, Lisa Holloway, Carin Eve, Anthony Eve, Julia Eve, and Sam Jones. Martins greatest and final thanks go, though, to his wife, Helen.
