AfricArXiv is a community-led digital archive for African research, working towards building an African-owned open scholarly repository; a knowledge commons of African scholarly works to catalyze the African Renaissance. We partner with established scholarly repository services to provide a platform for African scientists of any discipline to present their research findings and connect with other researchers on the African continent and globally.
You can submit preprint manuscripts, post-prints, presentations, datasets, and other research result formats with any of our partner repositories. Find out how to do that at info.africarxiv.org/submit/.
We promote the discoverability of African research outcome by working in accordance with the following principles and organisations:
