Join this EIFL webinar to discuss communications, marketing, visibility and impact of Diamond OA journals. 

Panellists Rebecca Garland and Sarisha Perumal from the Clean Air Journal and Riya Patel and Felix Mburu Njoroge from the East African Journal of Neurological Sciences will share their experiences with journal communications and marketing. Some of the questions that will be discussed: How does a journal choose particular communication channels? Who manages these activities? What are the costs? Do journals track the views and visits and what do they learn from the data? Panellists will also share some advice for journals who would like to follow similar approaches.

This EIFL webinar is a part of a series based on knowledge and experience gained from implementing projects to strengthen no-fee (Diamond) open access journal publishing. Future topics include performing expert audits to inform strategic planning and shape the journal profile; financial sustainability planning; collaboration, and other topics suggested by webinar participants. The presenters are grantees of the ‘Collaboration for sustainable open access publishing in Africa’ project, implemented by EIFL, AJOL (African Journals Online) and WACREN (the West and Central African Research and Education Network) with funding from Wellcome.
