Submission guidance and manuscript requirements
Review formatting expectations, editorial workflow, policies, and submission requirements for African community development research.
African Scholarship Network
Advancing Scholarship Across the Continent
Search our collection of journals, policy notes, and community-led research from across Africa. This homepage keeps the design bold while staying fully OJS-compatible.
Guides & Access Points
Every homepage action now lands on a real destination. Use these guided panels if you need author, reviewer, librarian, or institutional information.
Indexing, access, and collection support
See the journal mission, access model, archive structure, and the broader publishing profile for library and repository teams.
Peer-review expectations and editorial workflow
This journal did not have a standalone reviewer page, so the homepage now includes a dedicated reviewer entry point with the core guidance and editorial contacts.
Partnerships, support, and contact routes
Find editorial support contacts, publishing enquiries, and institutional coordination details without leaving the journal site.
Publishers & Editorial Board
Publishing profile, board access, and journal stewardship
The old editorial board link was returning 404. This new publisher panel keeps that destination alive and gives readers a reliable place to reach the editorial office and review the journal profile.
