[Purpose/significance] In the knowledge economy era, protecting equal knowledge acquisition with low cost for the public becomes one of the main social responsibilities of academic publishers. Clarifying what is the social responsibility of academic publishers, and how to promote public's knowledge acquisition, can provide reference for academic publishers to fulfill their social responsibility. [Method/process] Through the investigation of four international academic publishers, this paper summarizes the situation and existing problems for academic publishers in promoting knowledge acquisition, and puts forward suggestions for them to promote knowledge acquisition. [Result/conclusion] Through the investigation and study, this paper finds that the academic publishers really make some efforts in promoting knowledge acquisition of individuals, organizations and countries. However, there are also some problems, such as information fairness, less free resources, limited range and so on. It believes that academic publishers should guarantee equal access to information resources, strengthen the construction of public knowledge, and narrow the information gap between developing countries and developed countries, etc.
