EIFL landscape study of no-fee open access publishing in Africa

EIFL’s landscape study explores open access (OA) journals in Africa that don’t charge fees (Diamond OA), based on survey data from 199 journals, 21 platforms, and 25 country reports. It examines funding, sustainability, institutional support, incentives, and collaboration among these journals. The study is part of the three-year ‘Collaboration for sustainable open access publishing in Africa’ project (Nov 2023 – Oct 2026), led by EIFL, AJOL (African Journals Online), and WACREN (the West and Central African Research and Education Network) with Wellcome’s support.
