It is a partnership of journals committed to increasing the international profile of Africa's scholarly work and improving access to African-originated knowledge. By joining together as a large group of journals, this service has attained great international recognition, and visibility on the internet. <br><br></p> <h3>What services does AJOL provide to partner journals?</h3> <p>AJOL provides the following services for each of its participating journals:</p> <ul> <li>Free journal home page on AJOL (includes contact details, editorial information and instructions to authors)</li> <li>Free meta-data hosting</li> <li>Free full text hosting (closed for subscription-based journals, free pdf article download of articles from Open Access journals)</li> <li>International exposure to over 100,000 researchers each month</li> <li>Potential extra revenue stream from article downloads (subscription-based journals only) Currently, the loading of journal content to the AJOL site is done by AJOL staff. Going forward, Publishers / Editors will be encouraged to take ownership and control of this process themselves.</li> </ul> <p>Please email us at <a href="mailto:applications@ajol.info" target="_blank" rel="noopener">applications@ajol.info</a> for these instructions on the application process.</p> <h3>What are the criteria for being included on the AJOL platform?<br>Applicant journals need to comply with various criteria for inclusion, including (but not limited to) the following:</h3> <ol class="ol1"> <li class="li1">The journal must be scholarly in content, actively publishing and contain original research articles</li> <li class="li1">The journal’s content must be peer-reviewed and quality controlled</li> <li class="li1">The journal must have a functional Editorial Board, with all people listed actively involved with the journal and up to date. Accurate names of all people listed as members of the Editorial Board and any Advisory Committee are required, as well as the primary institutional affiliation for each person, and the country in which they live. As part of the application, AJOL also requires full contact details for each person listed on the Editorial Board and Advisory Committee, as well as key journal staff. </li> <li class="li1">The journal must have a registered ISSN and eISSN</li> <li class="li1">The journal agrees to upload or provide all content for inclusion on AJOL (tables of contents, abstracts, and full text) in electronic format and in a timely manner and agrees that the journal is responsible for ensuring their content AND all information about the journal on AJOL is accurate and up to date</li> <li class="li1">The journal guarantees all requisite permissions are granted to allow AJOL to operate an article download service</li> <li class="li1">The journal must be published by a clearly stipulated publishing entity (e.g. professional publishing company, scholarly research association, university, research institute, etc.) that is based in the African continent. Management of publishing strategy, peer-review, and production operation should be run from an African country or countries, and at least half of the Editorial Board should be based in Africa (ideally from multiple institutions… not all the same university, for example).</li> </ol> <p>More detailed criteria for assessment can be found here: <a href="http://www.journalquality.info/%22%20%5Ct%20%22_blank" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.journalquality.info</a>  If your journal meets the above criteria and is able to provide all necessary supporting documentation and information, you may submit an application to join the AJOL Pan-African partnership, and will then be able to access the various free support services AJOL provides.</p> <h3>To apply for your journal to be hosted by AJOL, the following items are required:</h3> <p>1. A completed AJOL Application Form (this form is available on email request to <a href="mailto:applications@ajol.info">applications@ajol.info</a>).

Please make sure you provide as much accurate and detailed information as possible, and complete the entire form.</p> <p>2. Full text article PDF access to your journal’s past issues:</p> <ul> <li>If your journal only publishes in hardcopy, we might require a print/hard copy of the most recently published issue. </li> <li>If your journal is fully electronic with no hard copies, please make a note of this on the information form and provide us with the journal’s URL (and password if required) so we can view the online content. </li> <li>Should the journal be approved for inclusion on AJOL, we require the full archive of all PDF articles from all past issues to be added to the AJOL platform.
