Africa is mostly a consumer of knowledge generated from the North, Europe and the USA; knowledge generated in Africa is sporadic and lacks the African meaning, definition and content of open access scholarship. [...] "Local Open Publishing" This paper wants to contribute to the discussion about the importance of the role of an academic institution in the open access movement in Africa as well as address the representation and epistemological challenges of Africa benefiting from the Open Access Movement. [...] The reviews are then reverted to the authors, who are requested to consider the review comments and proceed with the writing of the draft paper, which can be published online as a Discussion Paper. [...] Usage of repositories and journals There are several other possibilities to make the knowledge of African institutions available to the community at large, and at the same time make the institution itself better visible in the academic world. [...] Most important element is of course the content of the publication, but the visibility of an article is enlarged considerably by simply making an abstract of the publication available on a personal or institutional website, spreading the TOCs of a journal by discussion lists and other means, 3 and making the metadata (with a short intro) available either via the publisher, repository or website.

Data was extracted from two world repository directories (Registry of Open Access Repositories - ROAR and Directory of Open Access Repositories - DOAR) and Directory of Open Access Journals - DOAJ to determine the presence of Africa and size of repositories and records found in the directories. [...] Methods and Materials 6 The study adopted descriptive bibliometric approach to determine the status of Africa in the open access initiative in terms of the number of repositories, number of open access journals and number of records deposited in the repositories as well as published in the OA journals. [...] Results The findings are presented and discussed in line with the objectives of the study, namely: contribution of African countries to the world's repositories; content types of repositories in Africa; subject coverage of OA journals; language of publication of publications in the repositories; and growth of OA publishing in Africa. [...] Discusion The findings of the study present the realities of the involvement of African countries in open access publishing. [...] This is expected considering the position of English language in the global communication and the colonial background of many of the countries publishing in open access environment.
