dc.description.abstractIn the recent time Internet has inspired multiple movements toward greater openness to scholarly content, the most prominent one among this movement is Open Access (OA) scholarly publishing. This paper was aimed at providing an insight on the existing publishing structure alongside with the transformation witnessed in scholarly publishing landscape as a result of information and communication technology and monopoly of commercial publishers as against open access. Furthermore, the paper stressed the need for Open Access in relieving access barriers, arguing that Open Access has the tendency to become unsustainable for research communities if high-cost options are allowed to continue to prevail in a widely unregulated scholarly publishing market. It is further argue that the badly damaged system of academic publishing will not be restored to full health by OA per se, but at most by the scientists themselves taking greater control over their publications. The paper concludes that the world of scholarly communication stands at a crossroads. On the one hand, there is much potential and actual innovation; on the other hand, cultural, commercial, and technological barriers are limiting this potential. A policy environment that is simply permissive of innovation has been insufficient. Instead, we need a policy environment that will shape a positive future for scholarly communications and so the research system itself.
