Open Access and Development: Journals and beyond
OPEN ACCESS AND DEVELOPMENT Journals and beyond
Eve Gray et al.
The African Open Access Repository Initiative, (20 Nov 2012)
Also available from The Institute of Development Studies (IDS). From the Abstract: This following report sets out to explore what Open Access means, how it has evolved as a philosophical and practical tool for scholarly communication, and how these publishing modes are currently being used to redress some of the imbalances, which currently exist within the traditional models of scholarly communication. It then goes on to examine the current and potential uses of open access in the context of the developing world; questions if, within these contexts, a different open access-based approach is required, and makes recommendations for this.
