OpeningScholarship was a practical research initiative that explored ways of better using ICT for scholarly communication and the exchange of knowledge between academics, students and the community. The project was lead by Eve Gray and Cheryl Hodgkinson-Williams within the University of Cape Town (UCT). A specific focus of the project was on providing access to knowledge generated by scholars to students and the community. Some of the topics explored was open access publishing as a standard practice and reviewing the institution’s policy on intellectual property from all scholarly outputs.
