<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">This is still relevant, although published in 2015. Negotiations with publishers towards a flip-model a possibility. SANLiC brought together great presenters
during their <a href="https://sanlic.org.za/programme/">conference</a> the past week. Looking forward to new developments. Regarding the study on a national site licensing initiative – it still needs to be signed off by the DHET, before it can be shared (protocol).
Dr Thomas Auf Der Heyde and Dr Sandile Williams also attended, and indicated that the next step will be to get together a team implementing recommendations/follow-up on the study, once it has been signed off.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
