The journal encourages critical reflection on contested theological and academic themes within Pentecostalism, as well as dialogue with diverse ecumenical theologies. Its scope includes Charismatic themes, including the current trends in Pentecostalism as suggested by list of topics below.

publication that covers a broad range of topics related to Pentecostalism, neo-Pentecostalism and related renewal movements in Africa and other parts of the world. It seeks to foster multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinary scholarship in the academic study of Pentecostalism, emphasising the intersectionality of theology and practice within Pentecostal circles, denominations, non-denominational movements, and other ministries. The <em>African Journal of Pentecostal Studies</em> encourages critical reflection on contested theological and academic themes within Pentecostalism, as well as dialogue with diverse ecumenical theologies. Its scope includes Charismatic themes, including the current trends in Pentecostalism as suggested by list of topics below. In addition, the journal encourages a multidisciplinary approach between Pentecostal theology and other disciplines such as media studies, health sciences, political sciences, economics and so forth. The journal seeks to provide a platform for rigorous, scholarly research that contributes to the understanding of Pentecostalism and its ethical, socio-economic, cultural, political, and religious impacts in Africa. Therefore, the scope of this journal extends beyond African Pentecostalism to global Pentecostalism in the context of world Christianity. The following topics would be in alignment with the journal’s scope and focus:</p> <ul> <li>Pentecostalism and Leadership</li> <li>Pentecostalism and Charismatic theology</li> <li>Pentecostalism in dialogue with Ecumenical theologies</li> <li>Pentecostal eschatology in Africa</li> <li>Divine healing in African Pentecostalism</li> <li>Holistic salvation in African Pentecostalism</li> <li>Pentecostal pneumatology in Africa</li> <li>Pentecostal ecclesiology in Africa</li> <li>Theological education in African Pentecostalism</li> <li>Pentecostal liturgy in Africa</li> <li>Pentecostal church history</li> <li>Biblical and hermeneutical</li> <li>Prosperity theology</li> <li>Pentecostal theology</li> <li>Ethics in Pentecostal theology</li> <li>Pentecostal missiology in Africa</li> <li>Pentecostal mission and evangelism in Africa</li> <li>Pentecostal and socioeconomic equality</li> <li>Pentecostal theology on children and youth.</li> </ul> </div> <p> </p> <p> </p> <div id="aff"> <p style="color: #8a1e04;">Historic data</p> <hr style="border-top: dotted 1px;" /> <p>Pentecostalism and the Charismatic Movement are significantly the fastest growing wing of the Protestant faith in Africa. Africa has developed its own distinct contribution towards the shape of Pentecostalism. This scenario calls for engaging scholarship in Pentecostal Studies as the movement continues to evolve and grow quantitatively. This calls for a focused journal that captures this spiritual evolution so that scholarship can objectively conceptualise and situate Pentecostalism within academia in Africa, hence the necessity of this <em>African Journal of Pentecostal Studies</em> (AJOPS). AOSIS in collaboration with the Southern African Society of Pentecostal Studies (SASPS) saw it fit to launch a journal that will contribute towards Pentecostal and Neo-Pentecostal understanding in academia and public domains. The deliberations were kicked off at the dawn of 2023 and, finally, after all conceptualisation and frameworks were completed, the journal was launched.</p> </div> <p> </p> <p> </p> <div id="pubf"> <p style="color: #8a1e04;">Publication frequency</p> <hr /> <p>Thejournal publishes one issue each year.

It was never intended to measure the quality of journals, and definitely not the quality of individual articles.<br /><br />The Impact Factor is a journal-level measurement reflecting the yearly average number of citations of recent articles published in that journal. It is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field; journals with higher Impact Factors are often deemed to be more important than those with lower ones. Therefore, the more often articles in the journal are cited, the higher its Impact Factor.<br /><br />The Impact Factor is highly discipline-dependent due to the speed with which articles get cited in each field and the related citation practices. The percentage of total citations occurring in the first two years after publication varies highly amongst disciplines. Accordingly, one cannot compare journals across disciplines based on their relative Impact Factors.<br /><br />We provide several citation-based measurements for each of our journals, if available. We caution our authors, readers and researchers that they should assess the quality of the content of individual articles, and not judge the quality of articles by the reputation of the journal in which they are published.</p> <p> </p> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid #d6d6d6;" width="50%"> <p><strong>Citation-based measurement  </strong></p> </td> <td style="border: 1px solid #d6d6d6;" width="50%"> <p><strong>2023</strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid #d6d6d6;" width="50%"> <p><a href="http://wokinfo.com/essays/impact-factor/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Journal Impact Factor, based on Web of Science (formerly ISI)</strong></a></p> </td> <td style="border: 1px solid #d6d6d6;" width="50%"> <p>n/a*</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid #d6d6d6;" width="50%"> <p><a href="https://service.elsevier.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14880/supporthub/scopus/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>CiteScore, based on SCOPUS, Elsevier</strong></a></p> </td> <td style="border: 1px solid #d6d6d6;" width="50%"> <p>n/a*</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid #d6d6d6;" width="50%"> <p><a href="https://blog.scopus.com/posts/journal-metrics-in-scopus-source-normalized-impact-per-paper-snip" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Source-Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP), based on SCOPUS, Elsevier</strong></a></p> </td> <td style="border: 1px solid #d6d6d6;" width="50%"> <p>n/a*</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid #d6d6d6;" width="50%"> <p><a href="https://www.scimagojr.com/aboutus.php" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>Scimago Journal Rank (SJR), based on SCOPUS, Elsevier</strong></a></p> </td> <td style="border: 1px solid #d6d6d6;" width="50%"> <p>n/a*</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border: 1px solid #d6d6d6;" width="50%"> <p><a href="https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/metrics.html#metrics" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>H5-index, based on Google Scholar</strong></a></p> </td> <td style="border: 1px solid #d6d6d6;" width="50%"> <p>n/a*</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>*Journal launched in 2023</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p> </p> </div>  <div id='advert' width="100%" style='text-align: center;vertical-align: middle;'> <div style="text-align:center; font-size: 10px">ADVERTISEMENT</div>  <ins data-revive-zoneid="132" data-revive-id="4be56a8d303b17cd95b9e662de0549a5"></ins> <script async src="//revive.aosis.co.za/www/delivery/asyncjs.php"></script> </div> <div id="pageFooter"><script type="text/javascript" src="/public/b5c3c9c01201a301b20a469cd9a170d8.js"></script><div id="newpagefooter"><div id="footerleft"><span id="contactus"><strong>African Online Scientific Information Systems (Pty) Ltd t/a AOSIS</strong><br />Reg No: 2002/002017/07<br />International Tel: +27 21 975 2602<br />5 Hafele Street, Durbanville, Cape Town, 7550, South Africa<br />publishing(AT)aosis.co.za replace (AT) with @ <br /></span><span id="contactustnc"><br />All articles published in this journal are licensed under the <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International</a> (CC BY 4.0) license, unless otherwise stated. <br />Website design & content: ©2024 <a href="https://www.aosis.co.za" target="_blank"> AOSIS (Pty) Ltd.</a> All rights reserved.
