Scientific publisher CABI, has published its first open access book - Global Health Research in an Unequal World: Ethics case studies from Africa. Written by Gemma Aellah, Tracey Chantler and P. Wenzel Geissler, this book is a collection of fictionalised case studies of everyday ethical dilemmas and challenges faced while doing global health research. It focuses on places where the effects of political and economic inequality are evident.
This Open Book is projected as an invaluable learning resource. Johanna Crane, from the University of Washington and author of Scrambling for Africa: AIDS, Expertise, and the Rise of American Global Health Science, describes the book as 'an essential tool for those committed to the hard work of scientific collaboration across steep global inequalities, and an inspirational example of engaged anthropology.'
With experience in scientific research, publishing, knowledge management and communications, CABI's goal is to put scientific know-how into the hands of the people who need it most. This new open access title helps do exactly that.
CABI launched Open Books in July 2016. CABI Open Books are freely available online at CAB eBooks upon publication and are accessible to anyone worldwide, ensuring distribution to the widest possible audience. They join other CABI products available under open access models such as the Invasive Species Compendium. The Open Book option is especially useful for organisations with a mandate to publish research under an Open Access agreement.
