Journal Guide

The South African Geographical Journal was founded in 1917 and is the flagship journal of the Society of South African Geographers. It publishes peer reviewed papers of high academic quality in all areas of geography. The South African Geographical Journal aims at using southern Africa as a region from, and through, which to communicate geographic knowledge and to engage with issues and themes relevant to the discipline. The journal welcomes papers dealing with philosophical and methodological issues and topics of an international scope that are significant for the region and the African continent. Contents include research papers, review articles on current debates/issues, and book reviews.

Over the past 40 years, the South African Historical Journal has become renowned and internationally regarded as a premier history journal published in South Africa, promoting significant historical scholarship on the country as well as the southern African region. The journal, which is linked to the Southern African Historical Society, has provided a high-quality medium for original thinking about South African history and has thus shaped - and continues to contribute towards defining - the historiography of the region. The South African Historical Journal publishes a wide variety of material, encompassing issues ranging in time from those around pre-colonial communities to those pertinent to a society in transition in the early 21st century, the practice and teaching of history and debates about heritage and the commemoration of the past. It includes ground-breaking innovative research, general historical and historiographical overviews, historical debates, interviews with historians and reflections on their work, review articles and critical reviews of important books. The journal is peer reviewed and evaluated by the editors, editorial board and other international specialist referees. The Journal is fully accredited in South Africa, it is listed in the Thomson Reuters Arts & Humanities Citation Index and its contents are accordingly cited, annotated, indexed and/or abstracted.

The South African Journal of Accounting Research (SAJAR) publishes peer-reviewed original research papers, notes and commentaries that address issues relevant to accounting academics and professional accountants in Southern Africa and elsewhere. This includes areas of interest in the study and practice in financial accounting, auditing, taxation, financial management, management accounting, finance, ethics and information systems. Research papers should be analytical and make a contribution to knowledge in the field. They may be empirically based (including survey and case study methods) or review and theoretically based. Notes and commentaries should meet all the criteria for good quality research, however their interest and topicality may compensate for the research problem being less rigorously pursued. Notes and commentaries would typically be shorter than research papers.

To provide a balanced presentation contributions are welcomed from the fields mentioned above, and from related areas, such as environmental accounting, corporate law, corporate governance, and accounting education. These fields may be approached from a wide variety of perspectives such as the behavioural, technological, institutional, organisational, regulatory, societal, educational, or environmental. Manuscripts that pass the initial screening will be sent for evaluation based on the double blind peer-review procedure.

The South African Journal of African Languages is a peer-reviewed research journal devoted to the advancement of African (Bantu) and Khoi-San languages and literatures. Papers, book reviews and polemic contributions of a scientific nature in any of the core areas of linguistics, both theoretical (e.g. syntax, phonology, semantics) and applied (e.g. sociolinguistic topics, language teaching, language policy), and literature, based on original research in the context of the African languages, are welcome. The journal is the official mouthpiece of the African Language Association of Southern Africa (ALASA), established in 1979.

The South African Journal of Botany publishes original papers that deal with the classification, biodiversity, morphology, physiology, molecular biology, ecology, biotechnology, ethnobotany and other botanically related aspects of species that are of importance to southern Africa. Manuscripts dealing with significant new findings on other species of the world and general botanical principles will also be considered and are encouraged.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

South African Journal of Chemical Engineering, SAJCE, aims to be the principal open access journal for publication of high quality, original papers in all areas of chemical engineering. The journal is fully international with contributions encouraged from both within and outside South Africa. In addition to publishing full research articles the journal also welcomes review papers and shorter communications.

The journal has a particular interest in publishing papers on the unique issues facing chemical engineering taking place in countries that are rich in resources but face specific technical and societal challenges, which require detailed knowledge of local conditions to address.

Core topic areas are:
Environmental process engineering
• treatment and handling of waste and pollutants
• the abatement of pollution, environmental process control
• cleaner technologies
• waste minimization
• environmental chemical engineering
• water treatment
Reaction Engineering
• modelling and simulation of reactors
• transport phenomena within reacting systems
• fluidization technology
• reactor design
Separation technologies
• classic separations
• novel separations
Process and materials synthesis
• novel synthesis of materials or processes, including but not limited to nanotechnology, ceramics, etc.
Metallurgical process engineering and coal technology
• novel developments related to the minerals beneficiation industry
• coal technology
Chemical engineering education
• guides to good practice
• novel approaches to learning
• education beyond university

Submissions are not restricted to the above fields and topics and the journal is keen to receive papers covering the broad range of topics within and allied to chemical engineering. This list is to include, amongst other topics, process safety; food engineering; bioprocess engineering; sustainability, thermodynamics and energy research.

Original work in all branches of chemistry is published in the South African Journal of Chemistry. Contributions in English may take the form of papers, short communications, or critical reviews.

The South African Journal of Economic and Management Sciences (SAJEMS) is a leading publication for interdisciplinary research in economic and management sciences, with a special focus on the African continent. SAJEMS publishes and disseminates academic articles that contribute to the understanding of African markets and the behaviour of economic agents operating in those markets, including consumers, firms and regulators. In addition to applied research on African markets and market participants, the editorial board invites authors to submit interdisciplinary research that breaks down common intellectual silos and prepares a new path for debate on the operation and development of markets in and around Africa.SAJEMS is a refereed scientific journal and is accredited by ISI Thomson in their Social Sciences Citation Index and by the South African Department of Education. SAJEMS is also indexed and abstracted in EconLit, the electronic database of the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL); the relevant JEL classification number appears with the abstract of each article.SAJEMS, which appears in March, June, September and December, is hosted by the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences at the University of Pretoria. All published articles are assumed to represent the views of the authors; neither the editorial board of the journal nor the University of Pretoria accept responsibility for those views.

The South African Journal of Economics (SAJE) has a long and distinguished history, ranking amongst the oldest generalist journals in economics.

South African Journal of Education is the official journal of the Education Association of South Africa (EASA) and publishes original contributions from any of the disciplines in Education, in any of the official languages of South Africa.
