Our partner repository ScienceOpen has cooperated with the University of South Africa (UNISA) Press to create the preprint server UnisaRxiv. UnisaRxiv will be a forum to facilitate open peer-review of preprint manuscripts and allow for rapid dissemination of the latest findings in diverse topics.
The partnership with ScienceOpen creates a massive opportunity for Unisa Press to demonstrate its commitment to open science. Additionally, this partnership supports our efforts of providing cutting-edge technology that promotes swift dissemination of research in a transparent manner, grounded in quality and competence. Our professional staff, faculty, and graduate students can take pride in knowing that their work now has the opportunity to be hosted on a platform that opens up their research to expert peer-review and comments, which will enhance the quality of their work. I am excited that Unisa Press is bringing this platform not only to Unisa stakeholders but to all of the African continent.
Dr. Meiya G. Nthoesane, Director of Unisa Press
