International Open Access Week 2025 (October 20-26) asks a critical question: “Who owns our knowledge?” This year’s theme challenges the scholarly community to examine not only who has access to research, but also how knowledge is created, shared, and valued. This report explores four key dimensions of the 2025 theme—control, creation, recognition, and access—while highlighting notable events and developments that illustrate how communities worldwide are working to ensure knowledge serves the common good rather than commercial interests.
