Society of African Journal Editors
The South African Journal of Diabetes and Vascular Disease is now indexed in the
Society of African Journal Editors (SAJE) library.
The SAJE library is dedicated to African journals and it currently contains over
140 000 articles from 830 African journals, therefore making the library one of the
largest collections of African articles and journals. The goal is to create a central
portal that indexes all articles published by African journals in a single database that is
available to everyone. African journals and articles will no longer be at the periphery
of scholarly communication.
About the SAJE
The SAJE is a society made up of editors of African journals. The idea for an association
that will bring together African journal editors to promote African journals was first
mooted in 2002 by Prof Ruth Oniang’o, founder and editor-in-chief of the African
Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development (AJFAND). Prof Oniang’o’s
initiative and that of other African editors led to the establishment of the SAJE in
2004. The SAJE is a bold idea by African research editors to have some control over
the promotion of journals published on the African continent. Furthermore, it is now
widely recognised that African universities and institutes need vibrant research journals
to publish and promote their research outputs as well as their reviews and opinions.
The SAJE library is continually adding more African journals to the library and it
continually indexes each new article published by the journals. For more information
