SAHARA-J is an Open Access journal that publishes contributions in English and French. While the emphasis is on empirical research, we also accept theoretical and methodological papers and review articles. We also publish short communications and letters.

The editors are Prof Karl Peltzer of the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) and Dr Jacques Philippe of l'Université de Yaoundé.

The journal is abstracted in Sociological Abstracts (Sociofile), African Journals Online. It appears in these bibliographic databases: EMBASE, EMNursing, Compendex, GEOBASE, AJOL, Mosby Yearbooks and Scopus. It is indexed in IBSS. It is also accredited as a SAPSE journal in South Africa. The full text is accessible on PubMed, Sabinet’s South African E-Journals and journals.sahara.org.za.

The editorial board consists of 20 national and regional and 10 international experts. View the members of the board.
