This is partly due to the limited avenues available for African academics to publish but also because research techniques have become eroded or lost within certain institutions. The resources on this page have been collected together to help institutions create a strong research culture amongst their academics.

  • Information about Open Access Journals

  • Research Frameworks that Support Effective Research

  • Conventional Publishing

  • Examples of Research Policies
