Abstract
An examination of most of the highly ranked journals reveals that few, if any, articles are published byacademics from sub-Saharan African universities. This is the case even when the article’s main topicdirectly relates to issues relevant to sub-Saharan Africa. The study outlined here aimed at explaining whyAfrican, and specifically Kenyan, academics do not publish in international refereed journals, and at takinginto account academics’ own viewpoints on how to increase their number of publications in such journals.
