Exploring theways theory and practice have interacted in the development of OA, theauthors discuss what this reveals about the nature of the OA phenomenonitself and the theory-practice relationship.Open Access in Theory and Practice contributes to a better understanding ofOA and, as such, should be of great interest to academics, researchers, and studentsworking in the fields of information science, publishing studies, sciencecommunication, higher education policy, business, and economics. The bookalso makes an important contribution to the debate of the relationship betweentheory and practice in information science, and more widely across differentfields of the social sciences and humanities."
