From October 20th to 26th, International Open Access Week 2025 is being celebrated, an annual initiative to promote open access to academia and research. This year's theme is "Who owns our knowledge?" -a poignant question about the current moment and how, in a disruptive era, communities can reassert control over the knowledge they produce.
