FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Africarxiv icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The AfricArXiv icon represents the community-led digital archive for African research, providing a free preprint platform dedicated to increasing the visibility and accessibility of African scholarship across all disciplines. This symbol embodies the movement toward democratizing research dissemination and centering African voices in global academic conversations.
In African research ecosystems, scholars from institutions like the University of Cape Town and Makerere University use AfricArXiv to share preprints before formal publication, ensuring African research reaches global audiences without geographic barriers. International collaborators cite AfricArXiv papers to access cutting-edge African scholarship, while funding agencies increasingly recognize preprints on the platform as evidence of research productivity and impact.
From a scholarly equity perspective, this icon signifies more than just a preprint server - it represents the decolonization of academic publishing, challenges traditional gatekeeping in scholarly communication, and builds infrastructure supporting African researchers' control over their intellectual contributions to global knowledge. This distinction helps users recognize AfricArXiv as part of the broader movement toward equitable research systems.
Africarxiv is one of 158 icons in Academicons, made by James Walsh and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 448 × 512 grid.
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds AfricarxivIcon to components/icons/academicons-africarxiv.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.
Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed AfricarxivIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.
Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.
With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Africarxiv icon, or any of 158 Academicons icons, and install it from a prompt.
It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.
Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 448 × 512 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.
Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.
Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Africarxiv", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. AfricarxivIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <AfricarxivIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.
Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.
Yes. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
No visible credit is required: Open Font License only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Academicons, James Walsh and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
Its tags are research, repository and africa. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Africarxiv in another set.
