use based on the power of information technologies to enforce free and timeous flow of scholarly content. Using digital media to circulate scholarly information creates a direct linkage between scholars/authors and the public, facilitating a free flow of ideas
and information vital to the process of scientific inquiry, and in turn to the ability of individuals and communities and institutions to address economic, environmental and social development issues, both regionally and globally.</span><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#737373"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:1.0cm;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:1.0cm;text-align:justify;line-height:normal">
<span style="color:black">Alongside this consciousness however was the alarming serial crisis namely historically royalty-free and publicly-funded scholarly publications were no more accessible to the public on the ground of soaring cost. The biggest and richest
universities in the world were closing their branch libraries and had cut their subscriptions because the prices of journals were rising above inflation rates. The publisher which entered academic publishing realm primarily to relieve scholars of the tedion
of packaging and circulating research findings and whose role in this regard has been monumental, had gone rentier, mounting incredible pay walls on scholarly journals and possessing research reports they receive from researchers and refine this information
through the peer review accoutrements of the researchers, all <i>gratis.</i> In an effort to cut costs and consolidate services, many research universities have closed small special branch libraries. The situation is worse in Africa. No universities in the
world can afford any subscription of even a new print journal - the libraries are rather over flooded with back numbers and any subscriptions are bundled with journals that require to be pushed out of the stock of the publishers.</span><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#737373"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">The Open Access Movement is now more than a decade old, posting several milestones in the face of surreptitious conflicts and oppositions.</span><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#737373"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">A
major milestone of the movement is that people around the world now have increased access to scholarly publications. In addition to this, t</span><span style="color:black">here is observed increasing empowerment, and radical socialization and democratization
of knowledge from below as opposed to the prevailing statist nationalization and concentration of knowledge production in the developed North. Individuals, enterprises, and institutions currently participate in the production of knowledge thus promoting social
equality in human knowledge production and management enterprises to all.</span><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#737373"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Africa has benefitted from and contributed to the movement. Based on the listing of Directory of Open Access Journals, the oldest closed access journal to migrate to the open access platform is Egypt’s <i>Psyche
(A Journal of Enthomology)</i> which debuted in 1874. However, Africa has contributed only 6% to the 10152 journals listed in DOAJ as at 2014, and only 20 of Africa’s 56 countries have journals that are listed in the DOAJ. Generally though, there exists open
access consciousness in the region, but it is marked mainly by access to and use of free scholarly information available in the web. Many open access publishing activities are amateurish, fragmented and unorganised. T</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">here
is no Africa regional accent to the meaning, definition and content of open access scholarship. Many institutions and organisations have no open access statements, and there are no clear directions about their positions on the contending issues in the movement.
Also, the African social science community appears complacent about the significant role of the movement to the dissemination of its research outcomes.</span><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#737373"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Above
all however, there is the reluctance of African governments and institutions to contribute in the definition and content of the global open access project</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">.</span><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#737373"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The open access situation in Africa cannot be isolated from the underside of the movement resonating the global structure of<i>biopolitical</i> production – of ideas, information, images, knowledges, codes, affects,
social relations, forms of life and <i>dispositifs</i>. For example the promise that the cyberspace will reproduce the core and periphery in matters of ‘immaterial and reproducible property’ appears not to have taken the ‘capitalist biopower’ into consideration.
The basic contestations about asymmetrical power and representation, and the geopolitics of hegemonic and subaltern knowledge production and its epistemologies, validation and dissemination on a global scale persists, even in the open access movement. Within
the consciousness of the significance of the coloniality of knowledge/power on knowledge economy in the developing world, there is the increasing tendency that open access in Africa orchestrates perversion in the global ‘academic ecology’ of knowledge production.
While language and technology, and amateurish/apprenticeship publishing business skill and activities of subverts and spoof initiatives, might puncture the strides of local open access publishers in Africa and elsewhere, but much of open access publishing
initiatives in Africa are classed as predatory.</span><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#737373"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
