| dc.description | This book examines the visibility and impact of scholarly communication in Southern Africa, addressing African researchers' challenges in gaining global recognition. It highlights how traditional metrics, such as the Impact Factor, fail to fully capture African scholarly production and explores how universities in Botswana, Cape Town, Mauritius, and Namibia engage with open-access dissemination to enhance research accessibility. The book is based on findings from the Scholarly Communication in Africa Programme (SCAP), which mapped research practices and piloted innovations to improve scholarly visibility | en_US |
