Publishing obscure academic journals is
that rare thing in the media industry:
“a licence to print money.”

“The Open Access policy will anchor the
University in its rightful place in the national,
regional and international arena and open up the
University for more global visibility”
Professor George A.O. Magoha
Vice-Chancellor
December 2012
“Working with students to demystify OA at the
University of Nairobi and also in institution
members of the Kenyan Consortium has
proved to be one of the best catalysts for
change. We have realized that academics
tend to listen to students in matters of ICTs as they see them as
agents of change in that they are more savvy, "curious and excellent
in networking” and open to new technologies.
To us at the University of Nairobi, students have been our trusted
partners and they have played a significant role in advancing the OA
movement. We are proud that in a span of a few months, the Vice-
Chancellor has signed the Berlin Declaration in October 2012 and
also put in place a Committee to draft the institutional OA policy in
August 2012.”

i) confirms the importance of students having access to research journals and articles as part of their training;
ii) notes the high cost to institutions and individuals when accessing scholarly literature;
iii) proposes that this could hinder medical students in their development as ‘The Doctor as the Scientist’ as well as developing an evidence based clinical approach;
iv) welcomes and endorses the Right To Research Coalition’s statement on Open Access to research literature.
