AfricArXiv - the pan-African Open Access portal

AfricArXiv is an open-source and community-led digital archive for African research. We provide a non-profit platform for African scientists to upload their working papers, preprints, accepted manuscripts (post-prints), and published papers. We also provide options to link data and code, and for article versioning. AfricArxiv is dedicated to enhance and open up research and collaboration among African scientists – co-design the future of scholarly communication.

Curated by:

We encourage submissions from

• African scientists based on the African continent
• African scientists who are currently based at a host institute outside Africa
• non-African scientists who report on research conducted on African territory; preferably with African co-authors listed

AfricArxiv accepts the following types of manuscript – preprint or postprint:

• Review papers
• Project proposals
• Case studies
• ‘negative’ results and ‘null’ results (i.e. results that do not support a hypothesis)
• Data and methods papers
