"Open access, according to Willinsky, means free online access to peer-reviewed, published literature. The concept reflects the trust in which the public has invested among academics (particularly, but not necessarily exclusively) relative to human knowledge and the fundamental human right to know." I have a lot of difficulty with the idea that "knowledge" is produced exclusively by academics through the peer review process. So far as I am concerned, open access means something wider, because knowledge is something wider.
