We publish stand-alone papers by individual authors. 
 The articles should be related to theoretical research or be based on practical study. Articles which are not from Africa should have the potential of contributing to its progress and development. 
The articles submitted for publication in JERA cannot be published or sent for publication elsewhere. 

Authors retain the right to publish an extended, significantly updated version in another periodical.
