We had an insightful conversation with Likeleli Kapa, Co-founder of Blissful Words Publishing and an Academic Researcher, about the importance of publishing research. Here’s what she had to say:

“Publishing research is crucial because when research remains unpublished, it becomes part of what we call grey literature. Sharing your findings through publication allows others to access your work, reference it, and build upon it.”

� Why Publish Research? | Insight from Bernice Montsheng Khabele
We had the opportunity to speak with Bernice Montsheng Khabele about the importance of publishing academic research. Here’s what she had to say:
“Publishing is crucial because it allows us to share knowledge that can benefit upcoming researchers and scholars. It’s also a key academic requirement — in many institutions, having published articles and journals is essential for career advancement. All in all, publishing plays a vital role in both personal growth and the wider academic community.”

� Interview Highlight | Kigali, Rwanda

A representative from Blissful Words Publishing recently sat down with Charlotte Tetebea Asiamah, an AFRIAK Research Fellow from Ghana, to discuss the importance of publishing academic research. Here's what she shared:

“Academic research is a powerful way to contribute to knowledge. When you publish your work, it becomes a foundation for others to build on and learn from. It also opens doors for engagement within the academic community, as people begin to recognize your area of expertise. In short, research matters and so does publication.”

Stay tuned for more insights from scholars across Africa! ��
