Re: [km4dev-l] Knowledge Management Capacity for African Research
by arun＠mssrf.res.in 20 Apr '06

20 Apr '06

Friends: One of the key components of "Knowledge Management Capacity for Research Institutes and Networks" in East Africa or elsewhere is setting up of interoperable institutional archives (such as in CERN, Geneva, and the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore), AND more importantly mandating open access for all publications resulting from publicly-funded research. Unlike parts of corporate information, research information leads to maximum benefit only when it is allowed to flow freely and is shared with other researchers worldwide. I suggest that GDN, WBI and ACBF include a session on open access and invite experts like Dr Leslie Chan of the University of Toronto, who is especially passionate about promoting OA in the developing world. I would also like to draw the attention of the workshop organisers and participants to a paper written by Leslie Chan, Barbara Kirsop and Subbiah Arunachalam for SciDev.Net on "OPEN ACCESS ARCHIVING: THE FAST TRACK TO BUILDING RESEARCH CAPACITY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES" and to another paper I coauthored with Peter Suber: "Open Access to Science in the Developing World" [http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/writing/wsis2.htm] Subbiah Arunachalam Distinguished Fellow MSSRF, Chennai 600 113 India > Dear All, > > The Global Development Network (GDN) in cooperation with the World Bank > Institute (WBI) and the Africa Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) is > organizing a workshop entitled "Knowledge Management Capacity for African > Research Institutes and Networks: East Africa Workshop".
