Abstract

In this chapter, Alma Swan describes Open Access as emerging from a long history of
scholarly communication, which has always been closely tied to changes in technology and
economics. She describes how journal articles, books and monographs, and data have all
been implicated in recent changes, but it is perhaps the recent developments in the
dissemination of journal articles that have most exercised the minds of researchers, librarians, publishers and funders.
