Open Access: the beast that no-one could – or should – control?

This is an unrefereed preprint of a chapter for a book to be titled ‘Here be monsters’: Science, politics and the dilemmas of openness, which is being edited by Brigitte Nerlich, Alexander Smith, Sarah Hartley, and Sujatha Raman, and will eventually be published by Manchester University Press (as an open access publication). My contribution explores the role and impact of open access on public engagement with science. Update (04-Jul-2016): revised version posted incorporating changes in response to v1. My thanks to all who commented.

本为《此处有怪物》一书之章节预印本，该书将由Brigitte Nerlich、Alexander Smith、Sarah Hartley及Sujatha Raman共同编纂，并最终由曼彻斯特大学出版社（作为开放获取出版物）出版。我的贡献旨在探讨开放获取对公众参与科学的作用及其影响。更新（2016年7月4日）：发布修订版，包含对v1版本反馈的回应。感谢所有提出意见的人士。
