Dr. Paul Nampala, Science Editor of African Crop Science Journal (ACSJ), and Executive Secretary of the Uganda National Academy of Sciences, discusses the challenges and opportunities of scholarly publishing in Africa. Paul explains the reasons why ACSJ is providing free online access to the full text of the journal on Bioline International, and he discusses what greater visibility and usage of ACSJ may mean in terms of greater collaboration between scientists from different regions, as well as the relations between Open Access and the Millennium Development Goals.
