Abstract
Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 13·5% of the global
population but less than 1% of global research output.
In 2008, Africa produced 27 000 published papers—
the same number as The Netherlands. Informed by a
nuanced understanding of the causes of the current
scenario, we propose action that should be taken by
African universities, governments, and development
partners to foster the development of research-active
universities on the continent.
