About African Conference for Digital Scholarship & Curation
5TH AFRICAN CONFERENCE FOR DIGITAL SCHOLARSHIP AND CURATION
Call for papers:
theme: Mapping the progress of digital scholarship and curation in Africa: measuring Africa’s readiness and progress
Africa is on the path of embracing new technologies, in government, academia and business. There is also significant investment in the laying of terrestrial and extra-terrestrial networks in the African data market. All this attests to the fact that Africa is making some progress towards world class digital scholarship and curation. During the 4th African Conference for digital scholarship and curation it was highlighted that technology plays a fundamental role in enabling data curation, scholarship and collaborations in building repositories of data and knowledge. However, there has been little effort to determine the ‘hotspots’ of such progress on the African continent. This conference therefore is an attempt to map and showcase the progress of digital scholarship and curation initiatives and to measure the readiness of the African continent to embrace the next generation of digital researchers.
Authors are invited to submit abstracts for papers linked to the main theme and subthemes of the conference. All abstracts will be peer reviewed and selected papers will be published in a high impact international refereed journal.
Abstracts and proposals for papers, posters and workshops should be submitted before 30th November 2011. Only documents in electronic format will be considered.
