Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Make Data Count - Advancing meaningful evaluation of open data
Q: Do you already have engagement with the resources from African institutions to inform region-specific challenges?
Yes, African institutions already use some workflows like metadata citations, but adoption of views and downloads remains lower; MDC is seeking feedback and aims to adapt resources to Africa's resource constraints and governance needs.
DataCite Insights: Strengthening Open Science and Research Visibility in Africa
Q: How can an organization become a member?
Organizations can join via a membership inquiry form to discuss whether direct or consortium membership fits their needs, followed by a conversation to tailor the pathway and fee structure.
AJOL's Journey in Strengthening African Scholarly Publishing
Q: What is one action you would take from this session to support open scholarship in your community?
Embrace change and actively raise awareness about the quality and accessibility of African journals to encourage local publishing and reduce unnecessary reliance on high-cost international journals.
AJOL's Journey in Strengthening African Scholarly Publishing
Q: What practical steps can a smaller country like Lesotho take to be included in the AJOL dataset?
AJOL focuses on journals rather than countries; to be included, a journal should be brought onto AJOL and AJOL will work with the journal to improve visibility and indexing, regardless of national level constraints.
AJOL's Journey in Strengthening African Scholarly Publishing
Q: Can journals hosted on AJOL maintain their own DOI without using AJOL's DOI system?
Yes, journals can continue with their own DOIs or switch to AJOL's system to reduce costs, and AJOL is flexible about which DOI system is used.
