Perspectives on Science Policy in South Africa by H. C. Marais Pdf
Over the years, there have been several publications on science and technology in South Africa. Most, if not all of them, have focused on the science and technology landscape up to the mid-eighties. The changes in the science and technology system since the democratisation of this country have thus far not been reflected on in a systemstic way. This book presents a perspective on this changing landscape by offering an encompassing conceptual framework that should remain valid even if the policy were to evolve further. This perspective is further profiled by bringing into focus the main developments that have shaped science policy in South Africa since the turn of the 20th century. The last four chapters of this book sketch this process and its outcomes to date - unstable as the picture may still be. This dynamic situation, however, does allow one to experience something of the vibrant atmosphere that characterised the transformation of the country during the 1990s. This overview of the development of science and technology is presented within the context of a multi-faceted conceptual framework (chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4). The intention of this book is to offer an overview and evaluation of the policy and system and a prognosis of future developments in the context of broader historical, theoretical and international trends.

Science, Technology and Innovation Policies for Inclusive Growth in Africa by Reuben A. Alabi,Achim Gutowski,Nazar Mohamed Hassan,Tobias Knedlik,Samia Satti Osman Mohamed Nour,Karl Wohlmuth Pdf
The volume analyses how to make Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Policies relevant for inclusive growth strategies in Africa.The base for a transformative STI policy is to link the STI policies to Africa's economic transformation policies. In a first part the general issues of introducing effective STI policies are presented. In a second part country case studies highlight the new approach. Cases such as Sudan and Nigeria are analysed, as these two countries have a long history of STI development; because of different history, size and structure they need to move in different directions towards a coherent STI policy for inclusive growth.

Science, Policy and Development in Africa by R. Sooryamoorthy Pdf
Since gaining political independence in the 1950s, science has rapidly become a prerequisite for national development within many African nations. Supported by international agencies, such as UNESCO, initiatives were taken to direct Africa on the road of scientific development, enabling contributions to world science and significant progress in many specific research areas. However, from a developmental perspective there remains the question of how science influences national development plans and strategies. How far are science policies integrated into the national development plans? What potential and challenges do science and technology pose for Africa and its prospects for wider development? Offering a comprehensive historical and empirical study of science in both colonial and post-colonial Africa, R. Sooryamoorthy brings to light the connections between science, policy and development in African nations. Focusing on understanding the widening gap in science and technology between developed and developing regions, and the integration (or lack of) with national development strategies, this study provides important insights into the potential opportunities and challenges facing Africa in the areas of science.

Open Science in Africa by Katie Wilson,Rania Mohamed Hassan Baleela,Heila Pienaar,Martie Van Deventer,Dale Peters Pdf
There is an ongoing transition in the research enterprise towards Open Science (OS), increasing transparency in researchers’ collaboration, knowledge exchange, and how science is organized. The Open Access (OA) movement can be seen as a case study of the challenges that this transition can present. For example, despite all the advantages of OA and the fact that the concept is exceptionally strong as a principle, it is yet to be implemented across all institutions, particularly in Africa. Even though research productivity from the African continent has increased over the last two decades, the global north still dominates the scholarly communication and publication sphere. High article processing charges (APCs) can make it difficult for some African researchers to publish in highly rated- and respected academic journals, which are critical to their career advancement. Fee waivers and discounts are available but eligibility and percentages vary by publisher and predatory publishing presents a challenge to African researchers. In addition, the exclusion of many African publication sources from the major bibliographic databases such as Scopus and the Web of Science skews and limits bibliometric analysis and influences the outcomes of world university rankings. This Research Topic aims to investigate the transition to OS in the African continent. This will include researchers' and other stakeholders’ (support services, policy makers) concerns regarding OS as well as the advantages it offers them. Moreover, the role of new technologies is also of interest in the implementation of OA as it is the knowledge divide between different countries and regions. It is also crucial to address what needs to change in the research enterprise to make OS a worthwhile venture/practice for most researchers and research role-players and how they can cope with the contradictory challenges.
