Abstract
The Scholarly Communication in Africa Programme is both a research and implementation programme in that we are experimenting with technology solutions for a revised, expanded approach to scholarly communication and conducting research on scholarly communication practice within four Southern African institutions(1). All activity within the programme is framed by our methodological lens: Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT). CHAT is a valuable tool in that it addresses our objective of trying to define the ecosystem of scholarly communication within our four partner institutions. We want to know: What are the historical trends and factors that have shaped current scholarly communication practice; and what impact are new research and communication technologies having on these ecosystems?
