Following the establishment of the National Open Science Policy Development taskforce, MTHE, SLREN, and SLWS propose to host a two-day workshop to validate the National Open Science Policy on the first day and on the following day, towards establishing a national platform for Academic Publishing for Sierra Leone. The academic publishing workshop on Day 2 will explore how the methodologies and networks of SLWS can be adapted/strengthened for scientific literature, thereby enhancing the visibility and accessibility of Sierra Leonean research.
Objectives
- Validate the National Open Science policy
- Assess the current landscape of scientific publishing in Sierra Leone, identifying gaps and opportunities.
- Determine how the Sierra Leonean Writers Series can serve as a template or partner for scientific publishing.
- Engage with diverse stakeholders to form a collaborative network supporting this initiative.
