Open access means research articles are free for anyone to read online, with no subscription or paywall. For journals in Africa it is often the most direct way to reach readers, and many funders now require the research they pay for to be published openly.
How we help
- Choosing an open access model, including whether to charge article processing fees
- Selecting a Creative Commons licence

- Preparing an application to the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)
