Resumo:The call for open access to scientific literature is now generalized. From councils for science and technology to universities and inter-government organizations, the main actors in global knowledge production seem to agree that the future of knowledge circulation and use depends on open access to it. In this article, I explore first the context in which we should frame this call: knowledge asymmetries. Then, I analyze the consequences of open access for knowledge, data, and information production and consumption. As an answer to those consequences, new epistemic practices are described: softwarization of data processing and strategic reading.
