Journals section

Please note - this page is still under construction

The AIDWATCH bulletin which preceeded this website and DI Update carried a journals summary which listed the most recent contents pages for about 10 major development journals.

The idea was that people could easily scan the contents to see articles that were of particular interest. But listing contents pages in a paper bulletin takes a lot of space - and an increasing number of journals are now available online. You can also get the contents pages of some journals emailed to you on a regular basis.

On this page, we will therefore focus on listing contents from journals based in developing countries plus a few key journals based in the north. We will include weblinks and other info on how to access the main development journals easily. We also intend gradually to make links between themes and sectors covered in the website and specific journal articles - especially those from the south. We would appreciate feedback on how this journals section can be made as useful as possible - Contact Development Initiatives.
