Over 900  registered participants from 23 countries took part in our concluded  live streamed webinar series on What it Takes to Produce High Impact Journals.  The first webinar was cohosted by the Commission of  University Education, Kenya  focusing on  Journal Accreditation and what it takes for a University to Produce  High Impact Journals  and  the second one was in partnership with African Journals Online on  Producing High Impact African Journals.

80% of the participants acknowledged  that  they did not know  what it took to produce high impact journals and were keen  on what would be done to improve  their journals.

In both webinars  the guest speakers guided  the audience on  how they are supporting African institutions in producing good quality journals
