The advent of the African Union (AU) was hailed as an event of great magnitude in the institutional evolution of the continent. One of the central visions of the AU is that of \an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the global arena.\" The AU is currently proactively engaged in achieving some of the salient objectives it had set out for itself to achieve, including the achievement of greater unity and solidarity between African countries and the peoples of Africa, the promotion and defence of African common positions on issues of interest to the continent and its peoples, the promotion of peace, security and stability on the continent, the promotion of popular participation and good governance and the establishment of the necessary conditions which would enable the continent to play its rightful role in the global economy.
In the light of increasing globalisation the AU's enhanced participation in international affairs, there is a need to engage in critical and rigorous scholarly inquiry about the AU and its important endeavours. This is the main rationale for the setting up of the Journal of African Union Studies. The journal hopes to be a platform for African and international scholars to contribute towards a critical, rigorous and well-informed academic appraisal and debate of the African Union and its involvement in all critical spheres relating to the promotion of its African agenda."

The Journal of Consumer Sciences is an official publication of the South African Association of Family Ecology and Consumer Sciences (SAAFECS).

The Journal of Consumer Sciences (JCS) publishes articles that focus on consumer experiences in different places and from different perspectives and methodological positions. The journal will consider research from within the fields of consumer studies, consumer science, home economics, family studies, consumer education, consumer rights and consumer behaviour. We also consider household and/or individual food security to be a facet of food consumerism and hence those working in this field should consider publishing in this journal. The journal also welcomes current consumer-related research that examines the impact of environmental, community and sustainability issues.

The journal has a regional focus on southern Africa. Manuscripts that are accepted for consideration to publish in the journal must address energy issues in southern Africa or have a clear component relevant to southern Africa, including research that was set-up or designed in the region. The southern African region is considered to be constituted by the following fifteen (15) countries: Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Malawi, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Within this broad field of energy research, topics of particular interest include energy efficiency, modelling, renewable energy, poverty, sustainable development, climate change mitigation, energy security, energy policy, energy governance, markets, technology and innovation.

JESA is inter-disciplinary, with contributions accepted from energy studies, and related disciplines including: engineering, economics, sociology, political science, history, geography, public policy, science and technology studies, environmental science, international relations. Multi-disciplinary submissions are particularly welcome.

The Journal of Management and Administration (JMA) is a dynamic academic journal that is published by the Management College of Southern Africa (MANCOSA).

The Journal of the SAVA serves two particular objectives:
To provide veterinarians in South Africa and elsewhere in the world with current scientific information across the full spectrum of veterinary science. Its content therefore includes reviews on various topics, clinical and non-clinical articles, research articles and short communications as well as case reports and letters.
The Journal of the SAVA also serves as a medium for practitioners, academics, researchers as well as State Veterinarians and veterinarians employed in industry and other scientists to document their observations and publish research results. Thus, along with other journals, a record of scientific veterinary knowledge is established for current use and reference purposes.
