Force11 Scholarly Communication Institute

[1] As a global initiative by the Future of Research Communications and e-Scholarship (FORCE11), FSCI brings researchers, students, administrators, funders, librarians, publishers, and other informational professionals together to build up expertise through intensive training and hands-on collaborations.

The aim of the FSCI is to teach students, faculty members, administrators, and librarians how to navigate this rapidly evolving world of scholarly, scientific, and research communication.

FSCI attendees reported that they developed deeper contextualized understanding of scholarly communication issues.

Adegbilero-Iwari Idowu from Elizade University, IIara-Mokin, Nigeria reported that the FSCI training had enabled him to be a pioneer for scholarly communication in Nigera.
