The findings on the participation of African researchers in ICTD through academic publications across four subdisciplines highlight emerging thematic areas of concern to African researchers and their almost negligible representation in formal academic publications. We therefore suggest that key theories in ICTD are being formed without significant influence by African scholars and identify mechanisms to enhance their contribution.
This is backed by research that Shikoh and two other researchers just (December 2010) published and presented in the ACM DEV 2010
