A podcast: Making African Science Visible

The AfricArXiv team contributed to the third episode of Code for Thought, a podcast on ‘software, engineering, research and anything in between’ created by Peter Schmidt of the Society of Research Software Engineering.

Find out how AfricArXiv is making  research output in and about Africa visible through this interactive podcast. 

The publish or perish for researchers and scientists. In addition to that many researchers and scientists from African countries struggle to get their work published and recognised. The team around https://info.africarxiv.org AfricArXiv work hard to address that. - Peter Schmidt
