Notes de l'éditeur
- Introducing the issue of lack of access to the outputs of African agricultural research
- Noting in a positive context that output of traditional scientific publications from African scientists has been rising over the last decade in all parts of the continent. Note: This covers all subjects not just agriculture.
- Graphical representation of how African scientists are collaborating together – as reflected by co-authoring of scientific papers together. Shows language barriers (Anglo:Franco) and regional barriers to collaboration Note: This covers all subjects not just agriculture.
- A time series in 3 slides covering 2 decades of the number of open access repositories - showing that some progress has been made in Africa although the region has not developed as fast as some parts of the world Note: This covers all subjects not just agriculture.
- Graphic representation of the amount of web-based information/content across continents/regions. Note: This covers all subjects not just agriculture.
- This slide shows how three agricultural research centres are struggling with making their research outputs truly accessible in three generic areas, starting with % accessibility of Bibliographic References, moving to % accessibility of Full Text, and lastly % accessibility through international search engines/indexes. It can be noted that these issues affect international centres just as much as they affect national ones. Note: The various segments of the diagram represent different indicators of accessibility within each of the three general categories – the details have been left out to simplify the diagrams.
- This slide shows how the communication of research outputs can be diversified – by using a variety of different media and international services in addition to traditional websites.
- Under the Kenya Agricultural Information Network (KAINet), five national organizations are making their research outputs accessible in metadata format and full text, and have had varying degrees of success so far.
- Under the Ghana Agricultural Information Network System (GAINS), five national organizations are making their full text research outputs accessible in digital format, and have had varying degrees of success so far.
