The Philosophy of Open Source and Open Access: Unlocking Knowledge for a Global Audience
Authors
Jacques Dubois
Abstract
The digital era has transformed how knowledge is created, shared, and accessed. Central to this transformation are the principles of Open Source and Open Access, two movements that have revolutionized scholarly communication and democratized access to information. These concepts, championed by the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), are not just technical or legal frameworks but are deeply rooted in a philosophy that values collaboration, transparency, and equity in the dissemination of knowledge.
