Discover Research Rooted in Africa—Science, Medicine, Engineering, and Policy in One Trusted Collection
As libraries reassess collection balance and global representation, Sabinet’s African Journal collection offers a one-stop way to supplement Western-focused journal content with authoritative, peer-reviewed research from across the African continent. The collection includes 582 journals spanning almost every discipline, from physics and engineering to medicine, agriculture, religion, social work, and public policy. Developed by Sabinet, a collaboration of South African libraries, with more than 40 years of experience, this collection reflects deep expertise in scholarly publishing and long-term stewardship of African research.
These journals document science and engineering research grounded in African environments, resources, and constraints—work that is rarely visible in Western publications. For example, the African Journal of Geophysics and Earth Sciences publishes studies such as “Solar Resource Assessment and Energy Production Prediction for a Large-Scale Ground-Mounted Solar PV Plant: A Case Study of Concession Energy Resources in Zimbabwe”, which applies geophysics and energy modeling directly to Zimbabwe’s solar conditions. Similarly, the Journal of Emerging Trends in Engineering and Applied Sciences showcases African research articles and technical notes on the latest developments in engineering, technology, and applied sciences, filling major gaps in global STEM literature.
Health, agriculture, and pharmaceutical research
Sabinet’s program is equally critical for health, agriculture, and pharmaceutical research. Titles like the African Journal of Laboratory Medicine covers all aspects of laboratory medicine within an African context, publishing original research, reviews, and case studies on topics like bacteriology, clinical chemistry, virology, quality management, informatics, and public health applications. Evidence-Based Summaries in Medicine focuses on publishing novel methods for quantitative bias appraisal, detailing their scientific basis and practical application, aiming to improve evidence quality for clinical decisions. Journals focused on agriculture and herbal sciences document indigenous plants, pharmacology, and food systems, including detailed phytochemical analyses that support teaching and research in ethnobotany, pharmacognosy, and sustainable development.
For Librarians
All content is delivered on an internationally recognised platform built by Atypon. With modern features librarians expect, including MARC records, metadata, and tools to integrate seamlessly into discovery systems. Several of the 582 titles are exclusive, which, together with the depth of coverage, makes this collection uniquely valuable for institutions supporting African studies, global health, climate adaptation, engineering, and public policy. We have flexible pricing, including one-time purchase options, to make it easy for you to jump aboard. We invite you to take a trial and see how Sabinet’s African Journal program can strengthen your collection. And provide your users with essential scholarship that they cannot easily find elsewhere.
