Abstract
The JLSC Editorial Board and Editors are pleased to introduce this Special Issue on Open Access (OA),commemorating 10 years of OA initiatives and practice since the original special issue was published in 2014. There has been incredible change in the practice of OA in that time. OA models have proliferated, from transformative agreements with commercial publishers to the rise of community-driven “diamond” OA consisting of free-to-read and free-to-publish journals. Across the world, institutional and funder policies have mandated OA to publicly funded research. The definition of OA itself has broadened to encompass all forms of research output, following the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science in 2021.
