Item Building Capacity For Preprint-Based Peer Review And Curation In Africa(2020-12-04) Owango, Joy; Havemann, JoIn Africa, only few stakeholders exist that have both the capacity and the pan-African scope to educate and build capacity about the opportunities and regionally applicable research publishing workflows that are available today. African researchers are often struggling with low salaries and high teaching demands, which is why it is difficult for them to serve as reviewers in assessing other researchers’ works. We therefore need to establish a culture and transparent and easy to follow workflow which is mutually beneficial not only for the recipient of a peer review, but also for the reviewer.Item How PIDs & Preprints Are Facilitating The Ownership Of African Scholarly Content(2021-05-16) Owango, Joy; Havemann, JoAs part of the NISO.plus conference 2021 in the session "Quality and reliability of preprints, Ms Joy Owango presented the work AfricArXiv and TCC Africa are doing in facilitating ownership of African scholarly content using persistent identifiers.Item How To Use AfricArXiv To Increase Discoverability Of Your Research Output(2021-09-10) Obanda, Johanssen; Havemann, JoA presentation about AfricArXiv hosted by Eider Africa, presented on September 10, 2021.Item Infographic: African Principles for Open Access in Scholarly Communication(2020-11-24) Mensah, Priscilla; Havemann, JoInfographic representing the 10 African Principles for Open Access in Scholarly Communication.
