Van Doorn ii EDITORIAL POLICY African Studies Abstracts Online provides an overview of articles from periodicals and edited works on Africa in the field of the social sciences and the humanities available in the African Studies Centre library. Coverage African Studies Abstracts Online covers 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. In principle all articles dealing with Africa, with the exception of North Africa (Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Western Sahara), are selected for inclusion in African Studies Abstracts Online. However, 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 and dealing with only one work are normally not included. 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articles covering current political events or economic developments, which could be expected to become quickly outdated, though this rule is applied less rigorously in the case of a country about which very little is otherwise published.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. Similar criteria apply in the case of edited works. Edited works acquired by the library are abstracted and indexed on a monograph basis. Up to 50 edited works are included in each issue of African Studies Abstracts Online. 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 written 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 and nature of the research, and source materials (fieldwork, archives, oral traditions, etc.) and, where applicable, an indication of the time period, as well as specific geographical information such as the names of towns and villages or districts, and the names of persons, languages and ethnic groups. Abstracts of collective volumes detail the subject and author(s) of individual chapters insofar as possible and can often be likened to a table of contents. 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 iv scanned for abstracting is available on the African Studies Centre website at http://asc.leidenuniv.nl/library/abstracts/asaperiodicals.htm As always, comments or suggestions are very welcome. v GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page INTERNATIONAL General 1-4 17 AFRICA General 5-53 20 NORTH AFRICA General 54-55 51 NORTHEAST AFRICA Eritrea 56-61 52 Ethiopia 62-66 55 Somalia 67 58 Sudan 68-72 58 AFRICA SOUTH OF THE SAHARA General 73-105 61 WEST AFRICA General 106-114 82 Benin 115-116 88 Burkina Faso 117-129 89 Cape Verde 130 96 Ghana 131-149 97 Guinea-Bissau 150 107 Ivory Coast 151-157 108 Liberia 158 112 Mali 159-163 112 Mauritania 164-167 115 Niger 168-171 117 Nigeria 172-187 119 Senegal 188-195 128 Sierra Leone 196 133 Togo 197 133 1 GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page WEST CENTRAL AFRICA General 198 134 Angola 199-200 135 Cameroon 201-214 136 Chad 215 144 Congo (Brazzaville) 216-218 145 Congo (Kinshasa) 219-223 146 Gabon 224 150 EAST AFRICA General 225-228 150 Kenya 229-237 153 Rwanda 238-241 158 Tanzania 242-247 161 Uganda 248-261 164 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AFRICA General 262-263 172 SOUTHEAST CENTRAL AFRICA Malawi 264-266 173 Mozambique 267-270 174 Zambia 271-273 177 Zimbabwe 274-282 178 SOUTHERN AFRICA General 283-284 184 Botswana 285-290 185 Lesotho 291-292 189 Namibia 293-296 190 South Africa 297-365 192 Swaziland 366 228 ISLANDS 2 GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX abstract number page General 367 229 Madagascar 368-370 229 Réunion 371-372 231 3 SUBJECT INDEX A.
