Adoption Of Open Access Initiatives in dissemination of research

Open access journals and institutional repositories provide an outlet used for dissemination of scholarly research. Although the introduction of these outlets in universities has led to increased access and dissemination of research findings, the usage of these outlets is yet to be realized. There is need for institutionalization of open access publishing in Universities and training on open access issues to improve access and dissemination of scholarly research.This book will therefore be useful to academic institutions, education and policy administrators and libraries so as to improve the usage of open access outlets among academic staff.
