<div dir="ltr">Over the past few years, scholarly publishing has undergone dramatic change. Several recent projects have examined various elements of change within scholarly publishing, yet none have focused specifically on publishing in Africa. This research project is designed to gather both quantitative and qualitative data to develop a comprehensive picture of the scholarly publishing environment in Africa – the barriers, critical success factors, and current trends in dissemination and business models. Research will be conducted in two phases. The first phase of research will be in the form of a survey to elicit a mix of quantitative and qualitative responses from African-based journal editors and publishers. A second phase of the project will occur in September/October. For this phase, we will select 10-15 respondents from Phase 1 for Skype interviews to further expand on their answers and explore current issues in scholarly publishing.<div>
