Global research, vital for economic and social progress, remains largely inaccessible due to costly paywalls and inequitable publishing models. South Africa’s 2025 G20 leadership presents an opportunity to champion transformative, inclusive reforms in research publishing.
Global research, vital for economic and social progress, remains largely inaccessible due to costly paywalls and inequitable publishing models. South Africa’s 2025 G20 leadership presents an opportunity to champion transformative, inclusive reforms in research publishing.
In this paper, we propose a vision for a reformed research publishing system that is accessible, high quality, and useable, with targeted reforms in the three domains of financing, infrastructure, and governance.
On 25 June 2024, the Mawazo Institute and INASP held a joint roundtable event focusing on the perspectives and experiences of African women researchers.
In this policy brief we establish a vision for reform, detail a theory of change for how science diplomacy can realise such reform and offer specific recommendations for the G20 in 2024.
In this publication we present a framework and accompanying guidance to support designers and facilitators of online learning to make their events and courses gender responsive.
This chapter is a reflexive exercise, discussing the work of an international partnership, Transforming Employability for Social Change in East Africa (TESCEA), that aimed to reshape habits of teaching and learning in four institutions of higher education.

This is a report about the experiences of early career researchers – women and men – and how these experiences are gendered. It is a “voices of” report, because it is designed to present what researchers themselves say about their hopes, concerns, successes, and difficulties.
7,972 early career researchers based in the Global South answered our survey questions about their own research experience and about the research context in their country. This report summarizes our findings and reveals key themes.
