Summary:
"The African Academy’s AAS Open Research platform was launched early last week, promising to relieve scientists of exorbitant publishing fees ranging from $500 (Sh50,000) to $2,500 (about Sh250,000) charged by traditional journals.
The portal is anchored on the technology of UK-based F100, modelled after the Wellcome Open Research and the Gates Open Research open access journals based in the UK as well."
