Business and Finance

The journal is an independent publication for scientific contributions to the field of Industrial Psychology, i.e. organisational behaviour, human resource management, employment relations, vocational guidance, career development, ergonomics and consumer behaviour. Theoretical, empirical and applied articles will be considered for publication.

Published by the National Skills Research Agency (NASRA) and supported by the Graduate School of Business and Leadership (GSB&L) of the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal (UKZN) and the Centre for Local and Economic Development (CENLED), University of Johannesburg (UJ).
This independent, interdisciplinary journal is dedicated specifically to skills development/vocational education and training and related areas, such as local economic development (LED) and entrepreneurship. These are emerging fields of research and knowledge in Southern Africa: therefore it is important to find ways of sharing theoretical perspectives, research findings and practitioner case studies, in order to build the body of knowledge, stimulate further debate and research and provide resources for teaching and learning.
Skills@Work aims to provide a forum for the publishing of scholarly articles, case studies and book reviews that are of interest and relevance to researchers and practitioners. A further aim is to provide an ongoing stimulus for learning and teaching in these fields, particularly for local graduate students and young researchers in academic institutions and research centres. Although the focus is primarily on South Africa, regional and international perspectives are also encouraged.

The Rural Forum (Development Bank of Southern Africa) compiles the South African Rural Development Quarterly (SARDQ) to advance the interests of rural development.,

The South African Journal of Business Management publishes articles that have real significance for management theory and practice.

The content of the journal falls into two categories: managerial theory and management practice:

Management theory is devoted to reporting new methodological developments, whether analytical or philosophical. In general, papers should, in addition to developing a new theory, include some discussion of applications, either historical or potential. Both state-of-the-art surveys and papers discussing new developments are appropriate for this category.

Management practice concerns the methodology involved in applying scientific knowledge. It focusses on the problems of developing and converting management theory to practice while considering behavioural and economic realities. Papers should reflect the mutual interest of managers and management scientists in the exercise of the management function. Appropriate papers may include examples of implementations that generalise experience rather than specific incidents and facts, and principles of model development and adaptation that underline successful application of particular aspects of management theory. The relevance of the paper to the professional manager should be highlighted as far as possible.

The South African Journal of Economic and Management Sciences (SAJEMS) is a leading publication for interdisciplinary research in economic and management sciences, with a special focus on the African continent. SAJEMS publishes and disseminates academic articles that contribute to the understanding of African markets and the behaviour of economic agents operating in those markets, including consumers, firms and regulators. In addition to applied research on African markets and market participants, the editorial board invites authors to submit interdisciplinary research that breaks down common intellectual silos and prepares a new path for debate on the operation and development of markets in and around Africa.
SAJEMS is a refereed scientific journal and is accredited by ISI Thomson in their Social Sciences Citation Index and by the South African Department of Education. SAJEMS is also indexed and abstracted in EconLit, the electronic database of the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL); the relevant JEL classification number appears with the abstract of each article.
The journal publishes at least one issue each year. Articles are published online when ready for publication and then printed in an end-of-year compilation. Additional issues may be published for special events (e.g. conferences) and when special themes are addressed. All published articles are assumed to represent the views of the authors; neither the editorial board of the journal nor the University of Pretoria accept responsibility for those views.

The journal will publish innovative contributions to the theory and application of statistics. Authoritative review articles on topics of general interest which are not readily accessible in a coherent form, will be also be considered for publication. Articles on applications or of a general nature will be published in separate sections and an author should indicate which of these sections an article is intended for. An applications article should normally consist of the analysis of actual data and need not necessarily contain new theory. The data should be made available with the article but need not necessarily be part of it. Articles of general or non-technical nature will also be considered provided that the topic is of current interest to the theory, application or teaching of statistics. All papers are refereed.

The Southern African Journal of Accountability and Accounting Research is the official scientific research journal of the Southern African Institute of Government Auditors (SAIGA). As a fully independent refereed publication, supported by an international Editorial Board, on the South African Department of Education's list of accredited journals, it aims to advance scholarly research and debate into accountability and auditing related topics. The journal supports the endeavours of the Public Finance Management Academy which was founded by SAIGA to provide for amongst others high quality education in topics related to public finance management, and accountability. With this scientific journal it is intended to provide the widest possible coverage of the issues that are subject to scholarly debate around accountability and auditing. The topics and debate should consequently be directed at accountability, albeit in a very broad context. Preference will be given to contributions that address accountability elements and topics directly.

The Southern African Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management (SAJESBM) is a peer-reviewed journal of the Department of Business Management at the University of Pretoria. This journal is aimed at providing practical guidance and empirical evidence to researchers and practitioners specialising in the entrepreneurial and business management fields. The journal provides a communication forum to advance entrepreneurship, innovation, small business management and family business theory, as well as the application thereof in practice. Its aim is the improvement and further development of these fields and it is designed to appeal to both practitioners and academics. A double-blind review process is followed, supported by a national and international Editorial Review Board.
