Editor's Notes
- Introducing the issue of lack of access to the outputs of African agricultural research
- A time series in 3 slides covering 2 decades of the number of open access repositories - showing that some progress has been made in Africa although the region has not developed as fast as some parts of the world Note: This covers all subjects not just agriculture.
- This slide shows how three agricultural research centres are struggling with making their research outputs truly accessible in three generic areas, starting with % accessibility of Bibliographic References, moving to % accessibility of Full Text, and lastly % accessibility through international search engines/indexes. It can be noted that these issues affect international centres just as much as they affect national ones. Note: The various segments of the diagram represent different indicators of accessibility within each of the three general categories – the details have been left out to simplify the diagrams.
- Under the Ghana Agricultural Information Network System (GAINS), five national organizations are making their full text research outputs accessible in digital format, and have had varying degrees of success so far.
- The Advocacy Task Force comprises senior representatives of all the founding partners in the CIARD initiative, and representatives of other organizations that have shown interest. Membership is open to new institutions – recognizing the need to keep the size of the Task Force manageable and work where possible/relevant through representatives of constituencies. Early actions have focused on the development of the main components of the initiative, namely the Manifesto, Checklist and associated materials and resources. These tools were developed through a series of consultations in the second half of 2008 through the end of 2009 – mainly with the first group of stakeholders the Information Professionals. We are now focused on bringing this agenda to the all three groups – and we may find that the message has to be adapted to fit the different interests of the three groups.
