The DataCite Global Access Fund (GAF) is a strategic initiative designed to enhance equitable access to research infrastructure by supporting organizations in regions and communities currently underrepresented in the global open science infrastructure landscape. In this blog post series, we will explore the projects of the GAF awardees, sharing insights into the outcomes and future aspirations. Each of the blog posts will focus on how the projects lead to the creation of a more inclusive global research community, sharing what they have achieved so far and outlining their plans for further development and impact.
In today's rapidly evolving scholarly landscape, the role of libraries in raising awareness about metadata, open research practices, and the importance of integrating persistent identifiers (PIDs) into research workflows is more crucial than ever. Recently, Busitema University Library organized a week-long event to equip library professionals, ICT practitioners, and research administrators with the skills and knowledge to advocate for open-access initiatives, implement institutional repositories and utilise DataCite's open infrastructure services.
