Welcome To African Researchers Magazine

African Researchers Magazine

African Researchers Magazine (ISSN: 2714-2787) is a non-profit, reviewed scholarly publication committed to advancing the visibility and impact of African research and innovation. Our core mission is to facilitate effective knowledge dissemination, enhance research communication, and bridge the gap between African researchers and key end-users of research outputs across the continent and globally. We focus on publishing and promoting high-quality, evidence-based African research findings across various disciplines, ensuring accessibility to a diverse audience that includes governments, policymakers, academics, practitioners, professionals, NGOs, industry leaders, and the general public. Our inclusive approach also targets the African academic diaspora, fostering collaborative engagement between researchers at home and abroad.

By amplifying African scholarly contributions, we aim to influence evidence-informed policymaking, support sustainable development goals (SDGs), and contribute to capacity building and scientific advancement in Africa. We strive to make African research globally recognized, showcasing the continent’s intellectual capital, innovation ecosystems, and contextual solutions to local and global challenges. Through this platform, we empower African scholars, foster research, promote open access knowledge sharing, and provide global audiences with critical insights into Africa’s challenges, breakthroughs, and achievements in science, technology, research and development. Read more …
