The Kenya Libraries and Information Services Consortium (KLSC) has invited over 30 institutions of higher learning and research institutions in Kenya to an ongoing 3-day workshop in Nairobi from 18th to 20th February 2026. This workshop aims to streamline all open-access journals in Kenya, hosted by various institutions, on quality and trusted open-access scholarly journal practices. The workshop is led by Ina Smith, a facilitator from the Directorate of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). During the workshop, all journals were pre-assessed for compliance with indexing requirements. Multidisciplinary Journal of Technical University of Mombasa (MJTUM), represented in the workshop by 8 members of the editorial board, topped this assessment with 91 per cent compliance. This position makes MJTUM a trusted open-access journal that is on the right path towards indexing, thereby promoting the visibility of the Technical University of Mombasa. On behalf of members of the editorial board, the Chief Editor of MJTUM, Prof. Cosmas Munga congratulates all our esteemed authors, reviewers, and the excellent support provided by the university management.
