Van Doorn ii EDITORIAL POLICY African Studies Abstracts Online provides an overview of articles from periodicals and edited works on sub-Saharan Africa in the field of the social sciences and the humanities available in the African Studies Centre library. Coverage African Studies Abstracts Online covers edited works (up to 50 in each issue) and a wide range of journals in the field of African studies. Some 240 journals are systematically scanned. Just over half of these are English-language journals, just under a quarter are French, and most of the rest are German. A few Afrikaans, Dutch, Italian and Portuguese-language journals are also covered. Some 40 percent of all the journals are published in Africa. Newspapers and weeklies, popular magazines and current affairs bulletins, statistical digests, directories, annual reports and newsletters are, with rare exceptions, not scanned. Articles from journals published in Africa and from leading Africanist journals published outside the continent are provided with abstracts. Articles from other journals, including journals on North Africa, are catalogued and indexed without abstracts. All articles are included in the African Studies Centre Library OPAC at http://opc4-ascl.pica.nl/DB=3/LNG=EN/ To be selected for abstracting/indexing an article must be at least two to three pages long, and have been published within the past two years (though some allowance is made for journals which have fallen behind on publication schedules or which, for whatever reason, have taken a long time to arrive). In a few specific cases, an article may be excluded on the grounds of subject. In particular, articles in the field of linguistics and those in the field of literature dealing with only one work are normally not selected. This also applies to purely descriptive articles covering current political events or economic developments, which could be expected to become quickly outdated, though this rule is applied less rigorously in the case of a country about which very little is otherwise published. Review articles and book reviews are not covered. Contents and arrangement In principle African Studies Abstracts Online is published four times a year. Each issue contains up to 450 titles with abstracts of collective volumes and journal articles. Items are numbered sequentially and arranged geographically according to the broad regions of Africa. There is a preliminary general section for entries whose scope extends beyond iii Africa, followed by a separate section for entries dealing with the continent as a whole. There is also a section for entries dealing with sub-Saharan Africa. Within the broad geographical regions of Northeast, West, West Central, East, Southeast Central and Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean islands, entries are arranged by country, and within each country, alphabetically according to author. Entries covering two countries appear twice, once under each country heading. Entries covering three or more countries are generally classified under the relevant regional heading. Each entry provides the conventional bibliographical information together with an abstract in the language of the original document. The abstract covers the essentials of the publication in 10-20 lines. It includes a description of subject and purpose, disciplinary approach, nature of the research and source materials (fieldwork, archives, oral traditions, etc.). Where applicable an indication of the time period, specific geographical information (such as names of towns, villages or districts), as well as the names of persons, languages and ethnic groups, are also included. Indexes and list of sources Each issue of African Studies Abstracts Online contains a geographical index, a subject index, and an author index, all referring to abstract number. The geographical index is at a region and country level. It refers to both abstract and page number, and for some may serve as a surrogate table of contents. The subject index is self-devised and is intended as a first and global indication of subjects. It follows roughly the main classes of the UDC, with categories for general, religion and philosophy, culture and society, politics, economics, law, education, anthropology, medical care and health services, rural and urban planning and geography, language and literature, and history and biography. Each category is further subdivided into a number of subcategories. Abstracts of items included under more than one country heading are indexed in the geographical index under each country. In the subject and author indexes they are indexed only once; the reference is always to the first time an entry appears. In addition, each issue of African Studies Abstracts Online contains a list of periodicals abstracted which provides information on title, current place of publication and ISSN of all periodicals from which articles have been selected, as well as indicating which issues of the periodical in question have been covered. A complete list of all periodicals regularly scanned for abstracting or indexing is available on the African Studies Centre website at: http://www.ascleiden.nl/Library/Abstracts/ As always, comments or suggestions are very welcome. iv GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page INTERNATIONAL General 1 18 AFRICA General 2-58 18 NORTH AFRICA Tunisia 59 54 NORTHEAST AFRICA General 60 55 Egypt 61 55 Eritrea 62-65 56 Ethiopia 66-74 58 Somalia 75-79 63 Sudan 80-84 66 AFRICA SOUTH OF THE SAHARA General 85-106 69 WEST AFRICA General 107-119 81 Cape Verde 120-121 89 The Gambia 122-125 90 Ghana 126-146 93 Ivory Coast 147-154 103 Liberia 155 108 Mali 156-161 108 Niger 162-163 112 Nigeria 164-196 113 Senegal 197-201 129 Sierra Leone 202-206 132 WEST CENTRAL AFRICA 1 GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page General 207-209 135 Angola 210-212 137 Cameroon 213-220 139 Congo (Brazzaville) 221 143 Congo (Kinshasa) 222-239 143 Equatorial Guinea 240 154 Gabon 241-242 154 EAST AFRICA General 243-245 156 Burundi 246-251 157 Kenya 252-267 160 Rwanda 268-271 169 Tanzania 272-284 171 Uganda 285-296 178 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AFRICA General 297-300 184 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AFRICA Malawi 301-307 187 Mozambique 308-316 191 Zambia 317-321 196 Zimbabwe 322-340 199 SOUTHERN AFRICA General 341-344 208 Botswana 345-353 211 Lesotho 354 215 Namibia 355-358 216 South Africa 359-409 218 Swaziland 410 243 ISLANDS General 411-412 244 2 GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page Chagos Archipelago 413 245 Madagascar 414-416 245 Mauritius 417-418 247 Réunion 419 248 3 SUBJECT INDEX A.
