Despite the relevance of journals to the development of scholarship on the African continent, printed journals are going through turbulent times. Alternative models of distributing scholarly communication are needed. A model such as the Open Journal Systems (OJS), which is reversing the declining access for faculty and students, is considered for developing countries in this report. The report examines OJS, an open source journal management/publishing system designed to support open access scholarly publishing and its application in the developing countries. The report describes the historical timeline of the Public Knowledge Project at University of British Columbia, which gave birth to the OJS, and the efforts that have been made by developing countries to adapt OJS to journal publishing with the hope that the developing countries may increase their contribution to global knowledge. The report concludes by discussing the challenges facing developing countries in embracing open access models for scholarly publishing.

UNESCO issued this publication to demystify the concept of open access (OA) and to provide concrete steps on putting relevant policies in place. Its focus is on scientific research from peer-reviewed journal articles. Building capacities in Member States for Open Access is a necessary but not sufficient condition for promotion of the concept. Creating an enabling policy environment for OA is therefore a priority. This publication will serve the needs of OA policy development at the government, institutional and funding agency level. The overall objective of the Policy Guidelines is to promote Open Access in Member States by facilitating understanding of all relevant issues related to Open Access. The guidelines are not prescriptive in nature, but are suggestive to facilitate knowledge-based decision-making to adopt OA policies and strengthen national research systems.

Experts explore current theory and practice in the application of digitally enabled open networked social models to international development. The emergence of open networked models made possible by digital technology has the potential to transform international development. Open network structures allow people to come together to share information, organize, and collaborate. Open development harnesses this power, to create new organizational forms and improve people's lives; it is not only an agenda for research and practice but also a statement about how to approach international development. In this volume, experts explore a variety of applications of openness, addressing challenges as well as opportunities.Open development requires new theoretical tools that focus on real world problems, consider a variety of solutions, and recognize the complexity of local contexts. After exploring the new theoretical terrain, the book describes a range of cases in which open models address such specific development issues as biotechnology research, improving education, and access to scholarly publications. Contributors then examine tensions between open models and existing structures, including struggles over privacy, intellectual property, and implementation. Finally, contributors offer broader conceptual perspectives, considering processes of social construction, knowledge management, and the role of individual intent in the development and outcomes of social models.
