This year\u2019s theme, <em>\u201cWho Owns Our Knowledge?\u201d<\/em>, will raise critical questions around power, equity, and control in how research is created, shared, and accessed worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>As part of its continued commitment to advancing dialogue around research communication and equitable knowledge dissemination, Editage will host a <strong>live fireside chat<\/strong> titled <em>\u201cFrom Access to Impact: Rethinking Open Access for a Global Research Community\u201d<\/em> on October 23, 2025, at 8:30 PM IST. The session will feature <strong>Colleen Campbell<\/strong> (Strategic Advisor &amp; Coordinator), a leading advocate in the open access movement, in candid conversation with <strong>Chirag Jay Patel<\/strong> (Head of Sales &amp; Business Development &#8211; Americas, Cactus Communications). They will explore how open access is shaping global research practices, and how libraries, consortia, and institutions are driving transformative changes in publishing and open access models.<\/p>\n<p>In the lead-up to the event, Editage will also release two special episodes of its <em>Insights Xchange<\/em> podcast series hosted by <strong>Nikesh Gosalia<\/strong> (Chief Partnership Officer, Global Publishers &amp; Societies at Cactus Communications). The first features <strong>Colleen Campbell<\/strong>, discussing libraries\u2019 transition from subscription-based access to supporting open publishing, and the fundamental role that equity, transparency, and author rights play in this shift. The second episode will have <strong>Mandy Hill<\/strong> (Managing Director of Academic Publishing at Cambridge University Press), as the special guest, sharing insights into the evolving role of university presses and why equity must be weaved into every step of the open access journey.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout Open Access Week, Editage will also publish a series of articles and interviews featuring key opinion leaders from the scholarly publishing space, including <strong>Duncan Nicholas<\/strong> (Development Editor, Reproductive Biomedicine Online), <strong>Iva Grabaric Andonovski<\/strong> (Vice President, EASE), <strong>Rachel Martin<\/strong> (Global Director of Sustainability, Elsevier), and <strong>Roohi Ghosh<\/strong> and <strong>Chris Leonard<\/strong> from CACTUS. We explore their perspectives on how open access continues to evolve across the academic publishing ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Open Access Week offers an important platform for publishers, journals, researchers, funders, and institutions to engage in critical conversations that shape the future of scholarly communication. As the open access movement continues to gain momentum, and open access practices and policies increasingly influence how research is shared and consumed, understanding these shifts is necessary for keeping up with the evolving publishing landscape and ensuring that the benefits of research reach the widest possible audience.<\/p>\n<p>To be part of Editage\u2019s Open Access Week event, please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/international-open-access-week\" aria-label=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/international-open-access-week\">https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/international-open-access-week<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editage, the flagship brand of Cactus Communications (CACTUS), will once again participate in International Open Access Week 2025 (October 20\u201326), an annual event that champions open access to knowledge, highlighting the importance of making research freely available to everyone.
