The language of advocacy and risk
Year: 2024
Type: other
Abstract: This post expands further on the assertion recently made by Danny Kingsley in her post on "Language co-option in the open space" that "words matter" when trying to have meaningful conversations about open access. Not only do words matter for creating common agreement, but words can also actively create biases, inform decision-making, and even thwart the visions of open publishing and infrastructure advocates most want to champion.
