<p>The Research on Open Educational Resources for Development (ROER4D)
project was a four-year (2013–2017), large-scale networked project which
set out to contribute a Global South research perspective on how open
educational resources can help to improve access, enhance quality and
reduce the cost of education in the Global South. The project engaged a
total of 103 researchers in 18 sub-projects across 21 countries from
South America, Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, coordinated by Network Hub
teams at the University of Cape Town (UCT) and Wawasan Open University.</p>
<p><br></p><p>This chapter forms part of a project activity toolkit, which is
comprised of five documents outlining activities associated with each of
the ROER4D UCT Network Hub pillars of project management activity:
networking, evaluation, communications, research capacity building, and
curation and dissemination (C&D). It is hoped that these chapters
will be of practical use to other projects attempting to integrate any
of these activities in their operational strategies.</p>
<p><br></p><p>While it has a particularly close link to the project’s research
capacity building and communications functions, the processes entailed
in C&D activity pertained to and supported all aspects of project
activity in that they were designed to facilitate the secure storage and
findability of content (both internally and externally) and promote
collaboration.</p>
<p><br></p><p>This document outlines the project’s strategic approach in terms of
positioning itself as publisher in the context of an open research
framework. It highlights the workflows and processes associated with two
key aspects of its C&D activity: publication of a peer-reviewed
edited volume and the project’s open data initiative.</p>
