Ms. Joy Owango, the executive director of the Training Centre in Communication (TCC Africa) led the session, introducing and demonstrating how to access and use the open access research discovery tool, Dimensions, to improve the research output and discoverability for publications from the university.
Over 50% of research output from Kisii University indexed in the platform Dimensions is Open Access.
