Pan African Centre for Research and Data Services is the trademark of OBIC Data and Resource Centre registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission as a Research and Data Centre. Our Vision is to become a one stop shop for all forms of Research Data, Research Support and Research Publications. OBIC Data and Resource Centre is founded by scholars in academics and practice to fill the gaps in research across various fields in academics and practice. Our goals and objectives is to make research experience as pleasant as possible for students and scholars in all major fields of knowledge in Arts, Sciences, Social Sciences and Philosophy. Over the years, we have observed a consistent lack of a data platform from where scholars in the field of finance, accounting, insurance, marketing, management, business administration, human resources management and economics could access different forms of data to conduct in depth empirical studies within the African Continent. Scholars and students have had to go through often difficult and very expensive process to obtain data for their studies, which has often inhibit the depth and latitude of empirical studies comparable to other jurisdictions in these fields. At PACR, we are motivated by the need to fill the existing gaps in the provision of accurate large bodies of data for scholars across various fields of knowledge all higher educational institutions around the world. We are committed to be an institution that provides quality research assistance to undergraduates and postgraduate students across different fields within the African Continent. Pan Africa Centre for Research and Data Services also provide the platform for academics, professionals and practitioners to upload and publish their research data with our Pan African Data Centre in return for an agreed annual Royalty based on the frequency of download of the data by various users around the world.
