| dc.description.abstract | This poster presents a case study of journal publishing at one South African university (the University of Cape Town) to identify existing journal publishing practices in terms of open access. This case provides the springboard for considering the implications – both positive and negative – of global open access trends for South African – and other – research and researchers. The empirical analysis shows the top 20 journals in which 50% of the research output is published, and reviews the nature, costs and licensing of those journals. The paper study concludes that academics’ engagement with open access and scholarly communication debates is in their interests as global networked researchers whose virtual identities and online scholarship are now a critical aspect of their professional engagement. | en_ZA |
