[Open-access] Scholarly Publishing in Africa - Invitation to Participate in Survey

*Apologies for cross posting*

Dear colleagues,

With all of the changes in scholarly communication and ICTs over the past
few years, we are interested in learning more about the current state of
scholarly publishing throughout Africa.

Clobridge Consulting is working in partnership with African Journals Online
to conduct a research study to collect, analyze, and disseminate knowledge
in this arena – in order to share best practices, identify emerging trends,
and gain insights from editors about their successes and concerns. While a
good deal of research has been conducted over the past few years regarding
global trends in the shift from print to digital, changing dissemination
and business models, and uptake in technology to support publishing, no
research has focused exclusively on these issues within Africa. This
project is designed to explore such questions specifically within the
African context.

More details and access to the survey are available at:

*All journal editors and publishers of African-based journals are invited
to participate in the study. *

The survey is available in English and French. An offline version is
available upon request. To request an offline version of the survey or to
share comments, questions, or concerns, please email
kim at clobridgeconsulting.com. The survey will close on Friday, 6 September
2013.

Many thanks,
Abby
