Toluwase holds a doctorate degree in Library and Information Science from the University of Western Ontario, Canada. He worked at the University of Ibadan (Nigeria's leading university) as an academic librarian, mostly in the medical library. As an academic librarian in a medical library in Nigeria's foremost university, he saw how the absence of a central database for research in Africa affected knowledge gathering for evidence-based medicine. There was no knowledge discovery system where researchers could search and retrieve the research on local health and biomedical challenges their colleagues in Nigeria, or other African countries, have published in African journals. Hence, researchers only rely on the popular research indexing databases such as MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus that index less than 10% of journals from Africa. He has more than ten years of experience in information organization and research communications research, with an interest in research communication in Africa. He (co)-authored more than five research communications on the under-representation of research from Africa in the existing research indexing databases and inequality in global science research communications. He has a strong passion for African values, and he believes mostly what Africa needs to do to solve most of its problems is to harness the power of existing technologies.
