Open Access has emerged as an opportunity for wider and unlimited access to, and dissemination of scholarly literature. In his thesis entitled AN ANALYSIS OF OPEN ACCESS SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATION IN TANZANIAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES, Frankwell Wilson Dulle investigates factors that affect the adoption of Open Access in research activities within Tanzanian public universities in order to devise mechanisms for enhancing the use of this mode of scholarly communication. Finding positive perceptions among researchers and policy makers but negative facilitating conditions, he develops an Open Access adoption model for implementation in Tanzanian public universities.
