  • Towards a proposed national framework for research data management in Tanzania

    Open AccessObadia Shadrack Buhomoli, Omwoyo Bosire OnyanchaARTICLEInformation Development2026

    Despite the emerging needs for research data management (RDM) practices in Tanzania, the efforts have remained underutilised, fragmented, and insufficiently coordinated. This has highlighted the need for a national RDM framework to guide, harmonise, and standardise RDM practices in Tanzania. To propose this framework, the study employed three models: the Community Capability Model (CCM) framework, the Data Maturity Model (DMM), and the Unified Th…

This article is an excerpt from a larger project that adopts a pragmatic paradigm and a mixed-methods approach, using content analysis to address the subject by analysing policy documents and annual reports obtained from 40 Centers of Excellence (CoREs). South Africa's CoREs, distributed across various universities, …

  • Maturity of research data management ecosystems in Tanzania

    Open AccessObadia Shadrack Buhomoli, Omwoyo Bosire OnyanchaARTICLEInformation Development2025

    Most African countries’ research data management (RDM) practices are still in the incubation stage, though the incubation rate among these countries, including Tanzania, is different. This study aimed to assess the RDM maturity in Tanzania by briefing policy development and practices using the Fuzzy Delphi Method. Specifically, the study aimed to identify indicators for the RDM practices in Tanzania and examine the maturity level of the RDM pract…

  • Mapping research data landscape in Africa using the Re3data and data citation Index

    Open AccessObadia Shadrack Buhomoli, Omwoyo Bosire OnyanchaARTICLEInformation Development2024

    Despite the efforts made by most African countries in incubating the practice of research data sharing, little is known on the status of the research data sphere in the African landscape. This study was conducted to establish the status of research data and research data repositories (RDRs) in Africa. Specifically, the study intended to identify the country-wise contributions in terms of research data and research data repositories, trends of pub…

  • Dispersion of ICT-related subject terms in information and knowledge management publications

    Open AccessOmwoyo Bosire Onyancha, Dennis N OchollaARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2022

    The application of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in information and knowledge management (IKM) has attracted the attention of library and information Science (LIS) scholars in the recent past. The multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary nature of ICTs means that the ICT literature is published in several fields of knowledge. Although Bradford’s law of dispersion is commonly used to determine the core journals in a given field …

    Omwoyo Bosire OnyanchaARTICLEAfrican Journal of AIDS Research2008

    As channels of communicating HIV/AIDS research information, serial publications and particularly journals are increasingly used in response to the pandemic. The last few decades have witnessed a proliferation of sources of HIV/AIDS-related information, bringing many challenges to collection-development librarians as well as to researchers. This study uses an informetric approach to examine the growth, productivity and scientific impact of these s…
