Abstract This short commentary responds to Gandy's (2023) piece ‘Books under threat: Open access publishing and the neo‐liberal academy’. It argues that the requirement for open access in UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) grants does not mark a major turning point in academic publishing, but rather is simply the latest trend in a series of changes which have seen academic inequalities redistributed under a metric culture.
