  • Information privilege is the ability to access information others cannot; this usually includes the most credible, scholarly, and peer-reviewed information. The barriers to access include a person’s geographical location, access to technology, access to education/higher education, status, financial situation, among other things. This creates a power dynamic where portions of a society benefit from having access to the highest quality information, those who benefit from selling/gatekeeping this information, and those who are marginalized by their lack of access to said information. Students attending higher education institutions with access to databases are advised to share that information while they have it since when they graduate, they lose access to it. The price for database access on average is over $1000/year for one database, which will prevent access for many. Open access is where scientists, journalists, and scholars in general are encouraged to publish their work on their platform so anybody with an internet connection can get access to it. While still allowing the scholar to publish their work elsewhere afterwards, so the scholar gets paid by a publisher and gets academic praise without restricting access to the public. (en)
