International Policy Fellowship, Open Society, Budapest, Open Information Group: Sustainability Models for Open Access Social Science Research Publication in Africa: Policy and Practice, The project aims to examine research policy in South Africa and map its impact on the publication and dissemination of research. An investigation of the impact of research dissemination will in turn lead to an evaluation of the effectiveness of the delivery of development goals articulated in national and institutional research policy., Open Access publication will be explored as a potential way of overcoming the economic, geographical, and political barriers to research publication in and out of Africa. Given the general level of impoverishment of African universities and shortfalls in ICT infrastructure, the project will investigate the policy interventions and practical strategies that might enhance the sustainability of effective and high-quality research dissemination in Africa and the advocacy programmes that would be needed to get buy-in from policy-makers and the scholarly community for the expansion of Open Access scholarly publishing programmes.
Eve Gray is an International Policy Fellow with the Open Society Institute, Budapest in the Open Information Working Group. She is based in Cape Town and is affiliated to the Centre for Educational Technology, University of Cape Town, as an Honorary Research Associate.
