This recording was part of a discussion, with the School of Nursing Sciences at The University of Zambia [1], aimed at brainstorming how the School of Nursing Sciences can migrate their current print-based journal onto an online platform.
This segment focuses on deciding on whether to set-up a journal on an existing journal platform or register a dedicated domain for the journal. We also discussed financial implications and business models.
