Our aim in selecting content for the African Journal Archive is to establish a unique and representative collection of journal literature published in Africa. The collection should complement existing e-journal Archives with African content. If the journals are already hosted in electronic format on similar platforms, there will be no duplicated effort or expense in digitisation.

Focus Areas

When selecting titles for inclusion we consider the following criteria:

• Relevance of the title to the disciplines and content already in the archive. Particular collections in the fields of agriculture, botany, zoology, history, law, education, politics, medicine, geology, and interdisciplinary works will be developed.
• Journal archives of academic, scholarly, institutional, museums and professional research organisations in Africa will be sourced. Academic journals are likely to comprise the majority of the content in the archive.
• Journals are included from volume 1, issue 1 (wherever possible) and include previous and related titles and ending with the last issue of 2007.
• Recommendations from scholars and librarians.
