Coming soon

Club Readership Academic Quest.

A new home for academic writing from Africa. CRAQ will publish academic articles by students, emerging researchers and established scholars, making African knowledge easier to find, read and cite.

The quest

If this is our home, then where is our research?

Club Readership has spent years helping African authors publish their books. CRAQ extends that mission to academic writing.

Too much good research from our universities and communities never reaches readers. CRAQ will give students and researchers a credible, well-edited place to publish their work and build their academic record.

CRAQ is supported by our academic community, Faculty of Best Advisory, which promotes reading, writing and academic triumph.

What we plan to publish

Scholarship in many forms.

Research articles

Original studies across disciplines, from education and the sciences to business and the humanities.

Review articles

Clear overviews of what is known on a topic, written for students and practitioners.

Student research

Strong honours, masters and doctoral work, edited and presented for a wider audience.

Essays & commentary

Thoughtful, evidence-based writing on issues that matter to African communities.
