Advances of no-fee OA journals in Africa | EIFL

"Reports from projects aiming to strengthen the quality and sustainability of African no-fee open access (OA) publishing are starting to come in, and we take pleasure in sharing results from projects that have enhanced two journals in South Africa.

The two South African projects were among 17 projects in nine countries that were awarded grants in 2024 through the three-year project, ‘Collaboration for Sustainable Open Access Publishing in Africa', funded by Welcome. The grants specifically target no-fee OA (also known as Diamond OA) journals and journal platforms. Diamond OA means that the journals do not charge any fees for publishing or reading articles."
