    Advancing research through DataCite’s global access fund : Busitema University, Uganda.
    (DataCite, 2024) Lugya, Fredrick Kiwuwa.
    This article details Busitema University Library's initiative, funded by DataCite’s Global Access Fund, to promote open scholarship in Uganda. A key output was a week-long "train-the-trainer" workshop in May 2024, which equipped 31 participants from 28 university libraries with skills in open access advocacy, institutional repositories, and DataCite’s persistent identifier services. The goal is to establish a national cohort of "Cadres" to drive the adoption of open infrastructure. The project aims for 100% open scholarship and DataCite services within Ugandan universities within five years. Sustained engagement through an online forum, regular training, and a planned academic paper will maintain momentum. This initiative represents a significant collaborative effort to foster a culture of transparency, accessibility, and enhanced research discoverability across Uganda's academic community.
