Dear IR Administrators,

 

I've created pages and categories on Wikipedia to assist with the addition
of academic journals to Wikipedia, to further enhance the visibility of
journals published by South African institutions, especially where those
journals are held on local repositories (e.g. OJS platforms). Although
probably not perfect, please look at the journals created (e.g. African
Music (journal <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Music_(journal)> )) on
Wikipedia and how the categories are used to link to Academic journals
published in South Africa
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Academic_journals_published_in_South
_Africa> . Ina, maybe a good idea is to work through the accredited South
African publication first?

 

I am in the process of doing the same for other periodicals e.g.
professional body magazines (e.g. IEASA).

 

Please let me know if assistance is needed in listing your publication/s.

 

Regards,
