Descrição: An editorial working group for "Review of African Political Economy" highlights the challenges of the "open access" publishing model and explains the drawbacks of the "pay to publish" option that underlies "gold" models of open access. Gold models, while claiming to achieve open access to academic research, serve in practice to entrench academic inequality between and within nations; squander research funding on new publishing fees; and prop up an archaic and ultimately unsustainable model of academic publishing. ROAPE has therefore determined that, for the time being, it will not support gold or other OA initiatives currently being launched by its publisher Taylor & Francis and other academic publishers. ROAPE will join other Africanist journals, the African Studies Association of the UK and other allied organisations to promote egalitarian access for both readers and researchers, and to reject the iniquitous gold model of OA, which threatens to commodify intellectual activity and to sow divisions between African and Western researchers engaged in the common goal of understanding and critically analysing society and political economy.
