African Journals Online (AJOL)
African Journals OnLine (AJOL) was initiated in May 1998 as a pilot project managed by the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publication (INASP), a Non Profit Organisation in Oxford, UK. It aimed to promote the awareness and use of African published journals in the sciences by providing access to tables of contents (TOCs) on the Internet. The project was evaluated at the end of 1999, and it was recommended that AJOL be continued and expanded to include more journals in more subject areas, as well as abstracts of articles. More than half of the 100 000 plus full text articles on the site are in Open Access journal partners, and are free to download.
