What can you access?Survey done in 2010 – comparing access to scientific journals in Africa and Europe
Of the titles that African users listed as inaccessible to them, 72% were actually readily accessible through their libraries’ online
subscriptions.
On average, 79% of the top-ranked international journals were available online, free at the point of use, at the four case study universities.
