The gap Research Africa addresses

In recent years, there has been a growing movement to make scholarly content more accessible to people around the world. However, despite this progress, a significant amount of research content from Africa remains underrepresented. This is where Research Africa comes in.

Research Africa is a project that seeks to digitize and make African scholarly content more widely available at an affordable price, and in some cases, for free. By doing so, we hope to create an enabling and viable model for African research journals that not only allows them to make a profit but also gain international visibility.

One of the key challenges facing African research journals is the lack of international visibility. This can make it difficult for researchers to find and cite relevant work, which in turn can limit the impact of African research. By making African scholarly content more widely available, Research Africa aims to help address this issue and ensure that the work of African researchers is recognized and valued on a global scale.

At the same time, we understand that African research journals often face financial challenges, which can make it difficult to sustain their operations. To address this issue, Research Africa seeks to create a sustainable business model that allows journals to make a profit while still keeping costs low for readers.

By working with African research journals, Research Africa hopes to help these journals make an impact and reach a wider audience. We believe that by making African scholarly content more accessible and citable, we can help to further the development of research in Africa and contribute to a more equitable global research landscape.

In conclusion, Research Africa is an important project that seeks to address the challenges facing African research journals by making scholarly content more widely available and creating a sustainable business model. By doing so, we hope to support the development of research in Africa and help ensure that the work of African researchers is recognized and valued on a global scale.
