Information For Librarians

We strongly encourage research librarians to include the African Journal of Epidemiology & Preventive Medicine (AJEPM) in their library's collection of electronic journals. By adding AJEPM to their holdings, librarians can provide their institution's faculty, researchers, and students with access to high-quality research in the field of epidemiology and preventive medicine.

Moreover, AJEPM's open-source publishing system is well-suited for libraries that wish to host the journal on their own platforms. This feature is particularly beneficial for libraries whose faculty members are involved in editing or contributing to journals. AJEPM utilizes the Open Journal Systems (OJS), a robust and widely adopted platform that facilitates seamless publishing workflows, article management, and online accessibility.

By hosting AJEPM using OJS, libraries can enhance their support for faculty members who are engaged in scholarly publishing and editorial activities. This arrangement promotes collaboration, increases visibility, and ensures efficient management of the journal within the academic community.

Including AJEPM in library electronic journal collections and leveraging the capabilities of OJS reinforces the availability and discoverability of the journal's content, benefiting researchers, practitioners, and students in the field of epidemiology and preventive medicine.

We invite research librarians to explore the possibilities of including AJEPM in their collections and utilizing the open-source publishing system to support their faculty's scholarly endeavors. Together, we can advance the dissemination of knowledge and contribute to the growth of the field.
