About Nubian

Formerly known as Decentralized Science Nigeria, Nubian is an open-access research infrastructure that welcomes scholarly contributions from every discipline.For far too long, scholarship across the Global South remains siloed in institutions, limiting shared knowledge and the speed of innovation. We are reimagining this challenge by providing a collective where scholars can publish, share, and build on contextual knowledge.Today, our collective spans across West Africa and India, with the highest number of studies from Nigeria across 12 higher institutions. Some of the current fields include; Arts & Humanities, Clinical Sciences, Computing, Communication & Information, Pure & Applied Sciences, and Social Sciences; with the highest number of studies from Social Sciences.Leveraging blockchain technology, our infrastructure is purpose-built against loss, tampering, and being kept out of reach for the very people who need it most. This creates a multiplier effect for scholars within and outside the continent to consult contextual studies, innovate to build custom solutions, and join forces with the rest of the world to address concerns that cannot wait.
