Abstract
  • In the past, fisheries and aquaculture researchers in Africa have been handicapped by poor access to current scientific literature and difficulties in getting published in visible outlets. Efforts in the past decade to improve access, awareness and use of information have flourished. We examine whether these efforts are reflected in the output of African fisheries scientists. We also explore how the Open Access movement may be influencing the dissemination of African fisheries science.
  • The paper is published online through the Woods Hole Open Access Server. It is also available along with the conference presentation at Oregon State University's ScholarsArchive.
  • Keywords: African publishing patterns, Open access information, Marine science librarianship
