@jelena3121 In short, we should be wary of metaphors for scholarly communication that figure knowledge as something that just naturally flows, with the malevolent forces blocking the flow. Knowledge doesn’t flow: rather, it’s mediated.

If we want to develop something better than the extractive commercial form of scholarly publishing (I certainly do), flow gives us no purchase on all the work that will need to be done.
