African Journal of AIDS Research (AJAR: ISSN 1608-5906) is a newly founded journal that publishes papers, which make an original contribution to understanding of the social dimensions of HIV/AIDS in African contexts. AJAR should be of interest to researchers in sociology, demography, epidemiology, psychology, anthropology, media, cultural studies, nursing, health promotion, social work, and economics. Papers on social theory and the politics of HIV/AIDS will also be considered for publication. AJAR will include research and review articles of 5 000 to 10 000 words. Space will also be reserved in each edition for concise (max. 2 000 word) articles, which are submitted
for rapid publication.
Papers submitted to AJAR will be reviewed by two appropriately quali-
fied referees to ensure that all papers accepted for publication are
methdologically and conceptually sound, and make an original contri-
bution to the field. Papers must be presented in English, although
abstracts may be presented in other languages. Papers will be ac-
cepted on the understanding that their contents have not been pub-
lished or submitted for publication elsewhere.
AJAR has an Editorial Board, which represents a broad spectrum of
disciplines and African countries. The journal will be managed by the
Rhodes University offices of Centre for AIDS Development Research and
Evaluation (CADRE).
AJAR will be fully integrated into international databases as well as
available online. It will be published quarterly and the first edi-
tion is currently in preparation.
AJAR is published by National Inquiry Services Centre (NISC):
