Part of a series of sessions under the theme - "Journal articles are not the only fruit".
There are other ways to disseminate your research, especially if you want to adopt more open research practices. Alternatives that can help researchers disseminate their research and work alongside traditional journal articles. The first session was about Preprints and in particular the new preprint service AfricArXiv. Joy Owango, a founding member of the Board of Advisors at AfricArXiv, talked about preprints and AfricArXiv.
