Description

The project aims to enhance Ethiopia’s academic and research workflows by promoting Open Access policies and integrating DataCite infrastructure across institutions. Focusing on Mekelle University as a pilot site, the initiative seeks to register DOIs for 100% of its publications by the end of the year, with plans to extend DOI integration to four other institutions. The project will significantly increase the visibility, citation, and accessibility of Ethiopian research, strengthening the country’s Open Access infrastructure and aligning outputs with the FAIR Principles.
