AfricArxiv is a community-led digital archive for African research communication. We provide a platform to upload and showcase research manuscripts, research reports, datasets, presentations, posters, and other research outputs. By enhancing the visibility of African research, we foster discoverability and collaboration opportunities for African scientists on the continent as well as globally.

We are building an Africa-owned Open Access repository to curate and archive research manuscripts, datasets, reports, presentations, posters, theses, audio/visual files, and more decentrally across various locations on the African continent.

In order to achieve this, we are currently in the process of anchoring AfricArXiv at the UbuntuNet Alliance in Malawi to establish hosting of African research locally and on self-managed open-source repository solutions.
Once this additional and then the primary option for content hosting is available later this year (2023), we will update this page.

Meanwhile and to allow for maximum discoverability of African research output, we are partnering with established scholarly repository providers.
