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 the first half of 2020, during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, INASP launched two adaptions of our online critical thinking course – a self-paced tutorial and a light-touch facilitated course. This paper discusses and compares their responses and engagement.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed many inequities. This paper discusses some of those inequities and what they mean for research and knowledge, and starts to consider how they might be addressed.
During April 2020, INASP asked researchers from 94 countries and across the whole spectrum of academic disciplines: “What impact, if any, do you think that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic will have on your research work?”. This paper shares the findings.
To celebrate International Day for Women and Girls in Science, we asked AuthorAID MOOC participants to share what most excites them about their work, the challenges they face and what they would say to women and girls considering going into their research area.
