Abstract: Key points In 25 years, open access has become a significant part of scientific communication, but its success story should not conceal a fundamental change of its nature. Open access started at the grassroots, as a bottom‐up, community‐driven model of open journals and repositories but today the driving forces are commercial, institutional, and political interests. The fall of open access as a community‐driven model is running the risk of becoming dysfunctional for scientists and may create new barriers and digital divides.
