The global scientific space today resembles a vast world artery along which knowledge moves. Information crosses borders faster than airplanes, and international research collaborations grow like a network of roots connecting different continents in a common epistemic ecosystem. However, behind the apparent transparency of this space, complex structures of inequalities are hidden. Access to infrastructure, resources, publication platforms, funding, and even the languages that are ―allowed‖ to be spoken in science is unevenly distributed. The globalization of knowledge is a multi-layered phenomenon. It simultaneously has the features of democratization and new segregation, opening and closing, acceleration and deceleration. On the one hand, open science, digital repositories, interdisciplinary platforms and AI tools provide unprecedented opportunities. On the other hand, political barriers, language asymmetry, commercialization of publishing models and infrastructure gap can transform the global exchange of knowledge into a system where some produce knowledge and others only consume it.
