  2. FINCH Improving the flows of information and knowledge will promote: • enhanced transparency, openness and accountability, and public engagement with research; • closer linkages between research and innovation, with benefits for public policy and services, and for economic growth; • improved efficiency in the research process itself, through increases in the amount of information that is readily accessible, reductions in the time spent in finding it, and greater use of the latest tools and services to organise, manipulate and analyse it; • increased returns on the investments made in research, especially the investments from public funds. ‘Accessibility, Sustainability, Excellence: How to Expand Access to Research Publications, Report of the Working Group on ExpandingAccess toPublishedResearch Findings’, 5.

  3. ‘(…) the concept [open] contains a poverty that has existed in all its uses throughout history and that makes it unsuitable for political description.’ Nate Tkacz, ‘From open source to open government: A critique of open politics’, Ephemera, 2012.

  4. Radical open access here refers to a questioning of our institutions, our practices, our notions of academic authorship, the book, content creation, and publication as well as a productive engagement with their potential alternatives based on experimentation.
