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:
African Principles for Open Access in Scholarly Communication
CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance
San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment
Helsinki Initiative on Multilingualism in Scholarly Communication
COAR Community Framework for Good Practices in Repositories
