While there has been a shift in how Open Science is perceived in Africa, ‘Open’ is still being misconstrued to mean that it is a loose and unstructured approach to scientific research, without restrictions or regulations. This is not the case. What people have failed to understand is that Open Science not only promotes research credibility by promoting transparency and reproducibility but also promotes research sovereignty and data ownership by allowing researchers to retain control over their data and research findings.
This episode’s guest, Mr. Abednego Corletey, the senior IT Officer for the Association of African Universities (AAU), speaks on the current research trends in Africa, highlighting Open Science awareness and implementation as well as how the Association of African Universities (AAU) is not only pushing for its adoption but also creating an enabling environment to support the process.
