Title

Research And Publication By Communication Faculty In East Africa: A Challenge To The Global Community Of Communication Scholars

Keywords

Africa; Communication research; Scholarly publication

Abstract

Few African scholars publish articles in top journals, present papers at prestigious conferences, or produce monographs that influence the direction of the field of communication as a whole. We explored hindrances to scholarly productivity in East Africa by administering questionnaires to faculty members at five leading communication departments and conducting in-depth interviews with department heads, librarians, and other senior faculty members. Results indicated that an increase in institutional priority on research and publication makes this an opportune juncture for collaboration with the international scholarly community to facilitate research and publication activity by African academics. © 2010 National Communication Association.
