Monica Berger started the topic Interested in scholarly publishing and open access in Africa? "Tragedy of the perishing scholar" is an editorial in a Kenya newspaper written by a Kenyan academic. Omanga explains how African academic publishing once was more robust and how low(er) quality and predatory publishing became prevalent. Best takeway: "To address this problem, it is important that universities and research institutions improve publication literacy among early career researchers in Africa."
