Open access: A cause, but not the cause

Abstract

This paper joins the debate on OA publishing by providing some critical notions on open access in information systems because it seems that IS scholars are not at the forefront of OA publishing. In what follows, I describe the OA situation in IS (2013) and then comment on the arguments put forward by Kingsley and Kennan (2015). Towards the end of the paper, I discuss how we can move forward.
