It appears that the qualitative dimensions of Open Access remain insufficiently explored, as this report suggests, since for its practitioners it goes beyond the business models that publishing houses or budgeting committees deploy in order to make informed choices about allocating scarce resources, such as in terms of advocacy, ethical dilemmas, policy-making aims and social justice. The scholarly literature also reflects the gradual pace of the adoption of Open Access as well as its changing perceptions and power relations in recent decades.
