Hi everyone, 
Based on discussions had before and during the Summit, YARA has introduced a section called The Repository, which will provide open access to short papers written by African students. The papers will be edited and published on our website, and the writers will have a chance to win a price in our spectacular give-away.
Please see below and attached and help spread the word amongst students and faculty of institutions of higher learning (in law, the social sciences and humanities) on the continent. 
Thank you very much!
Best
Edefe


THE YOUNG AFRICAN RESEARCH ARENA (YARA) INTRODUCES THE REPOSITORY AND A SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB (7.0 PLUS) GIVE-AWAY

The Young African Research Arena (YARA) introduces The Repository, an online open access mini-library containing academic papers written by African students from across the continent.

The Repository provides an opportunity for young African law students to publish short research papers produced during their course of study or based on ‘curious’ research. It encourages students to conduct, document and publish analytical papers on legal and policy issues.

Papers submitted to The Repository should be between 2000 (minimum) and 4000 (maximum) wordslong and should contain footnotes with full references (name of author(s), title of work, date of publication, name of publisher). Submissions should be sent to editor AT yararena.org with the subject line:Submission, The Repository.

The papers submitted for publication in The Repository are reviewed by a team of editors, and the best papers are selected by each editor, based on the following criteria:

  • 1. Originality
  • 2. Grammar and Structure
  • 3. Communication of a Coherent Idea

In December, 2013, the writer of the best paper submitted between the period September, 2013, and December, 2013, will be given a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.

Because we have a limited number of editors, papers will be reviewed for publication on a first come first served basis.
