African Journals Initiative (Pluto Journals & African Books Collective)
This is not a grant
The Pluto Educational Trust provides donated goods or services here, not funding. Nonprofits receive items or support directly rather than money, so there is no award to spend. If you're looking for cash funding, this program won't provide it.
About this program
A three-year pilot programme to support no-fee (diamond) open access social science and humanities journals based at African universities. Activities include promoting visibility and discoverability, indexing support, submission systems, annual impact reports, and mobilisation of financial support from libraries/consortia. Works directly with a cohort of journals each year (six journals in year 1) and welcomes expressions of interest from other African social science journals.
Who can apply
Established African journals in the social sciences and humanities, particularly no-fee (diamond) open access titles. Selection guided by an advisory board; expressions of interest accepted.
