Open access and research dissemination in Africa
Abstract
This paper discusses research undertaken by the Curtin Open Knowledge Initiative (COKI) and
participants during and following an Open Knowledge international workshop held in Mauritius
in September 2019. The workshop brought together key experts to explore the role of open
knowledge in the creation of equitable and inclusive global knowledge landscapes. This paper
explores the role of open access and institutional repositories in knowledge sharing and the
dissemination of research output from higher education and research institutions within the
African continent. The paper reviews the landscape of research output from the African
continent; analyses open access research output, overviews of institutional knowledge sharing
positions and the dissemination of research output from Ghana, Rwanda, South Africa and
Uganda.
