@DRUSSA's insight:
Here's an interesting discussion on the Connect South blog, titled Research uptake: a road hedged with thorns. It follows on nicely from Jeff's four-part blog on www.drussa.net late last year about the barriers to research uptake. Are there barriers you've experienced that are not listed in these posts?

Are UK universities doing enough to make research accessible to students, funders and the public? Claire Shaw reports
@DRUSSA's insight:
This question can equally be asked of African Universities. 
Courage Julius Logah's curator insight,
January 25, 4:06 AM
This is so true about Africa as well. At a recent Science Communication Course organized by #DRUSSA in ACCRA, we searched the participating Universities sites for completed and on-going research. It was very disappointing because though there were some news items on research, it was difficult to tell what research was currently going or had been completed recenly. It was agreed that most of the Universities in Sub-Saharan Africa needed to take a second look at their website with the aim of enhancing their research information output on it, to make it more accessible to students, funders and the public.

There is a need to inform researchers on the benefits of communicating their researches. In most cases, the researchers have a mindset of keeping their things to themselves!
