Earlier this week it was a great pleasure to present AfricArXiv at the Open Publishing Fest to discuss with the participants around the question:
Why do we need a preprint repository for Africa?
The calendar is filled with much to learn and discuss about open publishing in academia and beyond: openpublishingfest.org/calendar.html
The news section contains most sessions as archived recordings so you can still watch them online openpublishingfest.org/blog.html
Join us next week on Wednesday as we discuss together with our partners from Open Knowledge Maps & ReFigure
and another one on Friday with Knowledge Futures Group:
Co-designing the future of scholarly communication in Africa: Interview with Johanssen Obanda from AfricArXiv
Cristina Marras from Radio Antidoto meets Johanssen Obanda from AfricArXiv to talk about research, community, local knowledge and traditional wisdom, as a part of the Open Publishing Fest.
