About the Journal

Created in January 2010 by a multidisciplinary team of African and European Sociologists, Anthropologists, Doctors, Pharmacists, Psychologists and Psychoanalysts, the RASP is a Pan-African open access journal.

Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles or use them for any other lawful purpose without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author as long as they cite the source.
