Considering the strong pregnancy of the \u00ab\u00a0hidden\u00a0\u00bb, the \u201cmysterious\u201d in the collective consciousness of Africans, this forum intends to contribute to the reduction\/decrease of the influence of the \u00ab\u00a0invisible\u00a0\u00bb and the \u00ab\u00a0irrational\u00a0\u00bb in our communities. Our intention in the long-run is of course to eradicate irrational believes in African mentalities. We believe that even \u00ab\u00a0magic making\u00a0\u00bb is a scientific knowledge. Therefore, our duty as scientists is to deconstruct its process, to tame it as an object of science.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition to our duty of regular coverage of scientific events in Africa, one of the key missions of\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Africa &amp; Science\/Afrique &amp; Science<\/span> is the publishing of research works of African based scholars. By imposing ourselves the duty of editing African scholars, we intend to contribute to bring light on the tremendous works that African scholars daily realize, but which remain largely unknown from the world scientific community mostly because of their non access to established channels or because of the lack of financial resources.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We will be very thankful if we could benefit from your co-operation in the constant improvement of the quality of our services.
