Academix.ng, a website dedicated to collating research
originating from Nigeria has been launched by Quest to Reality, a Nigerian
Information and Communication consultancy.
Speaking at the launch in Calabar, CEO, Quest to Reality,
Engr. Iso Bassey stated that the lack of access to Nigerian research content
gave birth to academix.ng which is a pool of research by academics and
professionals.
“We have aggregated research material originating from
Nigeria from across multiple disciplines and published them on academix.ng thus
ensuring easy access for anybody who desires good quality Nigeria-focused
research. You no longer have to spend time online browsing multiple websites for
research originating from Nigeria. Simply log on to academix.ng, register and
find the topic you are looking for.”
Bassey also noted that the website is a work in progress
as it is continuously being uploaded with new content. “We are signing up new
partners on a weekly basis, increasing the number of papers on academix,ng,
presently we have over 3,000 papers on our website.”
Speaking further, Bassey noted that the website supports
both Open Access and Fee Access material. Bassey used the launch of the website
to call on Nigerian research institutions to partner with academix.ng to take
Nigerian research content forward and strengthen the global reputation and
positive perception of Nigerian researchers.
