The editorial board of both "Beiträge zur Sudanforschung" series grants worldwide distribution.
Our aim is to encourage the scientific discourse in the field of Sudanese Studies and to provide a platform where researchers can publish their findings, their articles and ideas.
Various African institutions receive the volumes free of charge to contribute to the improvement of institutional libraries and to the promotion of Sudanese Studies.
