Rather than just being critical of journal pricing, Willinsky says he wanted to respond to a problem that he had observed with a tangible solution to help fix it. For Willinsky, Open Access was a way to positively impact one area of inequity in education – concerning access to knowledge. His contribution to open access is driven by his passion to change the balance of power in publishing as of access to knowledge as a basic human right.
