AfricArXiv

AfricArXiv is an open-access repository for preprints of academic publications which are either about Africa or by African scientists.[1] The platform was established in 2018.[2] It was established to make preprint servers more available in various fields and regions.[3] Its establishment happen during trends to provide more digital services to support science in Africa.[2]

From its founding the platform welcomed publications in any African language.[1] In July 2020 the platform began hosting audio and video files.[4]

The Center for Open Science hosts the platform.[5] The cost of operating the servers is significant and that organization takes a fee to cover its costs.[5]

Preprints can be submitted to AfricArXiv via ScienceOpen. Users need to have a verified ORCID digital identifier and should include in their manuscripts a short summary translation in a traditional African language. After a member of the AfricArXiv team has checked the submission for formal criteria and approved the manuscript, it will be posted with a Crossref DOI and CC BY 4.0 attribution license.[6]
