Natural Sciences

Natural sciences research moves on preprints and open data long before it reaches a journal. For researchers working without large subscription budgets, that shift is an opening: much of the field’s current work is legitimately free to read the day it appears, and the tools for finding it are themselves open.

This hub spans physics, chemistry, mathematics, and the life sciences, drawing on open-access journals and repositories that publish without article processing charges or waive them for African authors.
