Journal Title：English Studies In Africa

Since it was established in the Department of English at the University of the Witwatersrand in 1958, English Studies in Africa has published a number of key interventions in literary studies. The journal has emphasized, as its name attests, the study of world literature in English within African contexts, at the same time as it set about promoting the study of African literature worldwide. Its founding editors clearly wished to establish a conduit between Anglo-American and Southern African literary studies, and this ethos persists, though in a revised form. Despite this commitment to its context, however, English Studies in Africa is unique in its willingness to publish articles on any literary, educational or language topic that the editors adjudge will be of interest to its diverse readership. While articles regarding English-language education and the English language in its various African manifestations are welcomed, contributors should be apprised of the fact that literary studies remain the core concern of the journal.

All articles are double-anonymized peer reviewed, and the journal is listed on both the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) and is accredited by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training. Guest editors are appointed for special editions of the journal, which alternate with general editions. In addition to the Editors, two Associate Editors and the Editorial Board are responsible for deciding on the themes of special editions and for arbitrating readers’ reports on submissions. The journal has been published by UNISA Press (South Africa) since 2008 and in collaboration with Taylor and Francis since 2009. English Studies in Africa appears biannually.

自1958年在威特沃特斯蘭德大學(xué)英語系成立以來，《非洲英語研究》發(fā)表了許多文學(xué)研究中的關(guān)鍵干預(yù)措施。正如其名稱所證明的那樣，該雜志強調(diào)在非洲背景下用英語研究世界文學(xué)，同時致力于在全球范圍內(nèi)促進非洲文學(xué)的研究。其創(chuàng)始編輯顯然希望在英美和南部非洲文學(xué)研究之間建立一個渠道，這種精神仍然存在，盡管是以修訂的形式存在。然而，盡管對其背景做出了這一承諾，但《非洲英語研究》的獨特之處在于，它愿意就編輯認為對其不同讀者感興趣的任何文學(xué)、教育或語言主題發(fā)表文章。雖然歡迎關(guān)于英語教育和英語在非洲各種表現(xiàn)形式的文章，但撰稿人應(yīng)該知道，文學(xué)研究仍然是該雜志的核心關(guān)注點。

所有文章均經(jīng)過雙重匿名同行評審，該期刊被列入藝術(shù)與人文引文索引（A&HCI），并獲得南非高等教育和培訓(xùn)部的認證。該雜志的特刊由特約編輯負責(zé)，特刊與普通版交替發(fā)行。除編輯外，兩名副編輯和編輯委員會還負責(zé)決定特刊的主題，并對讀者提交的報告進行仲裁。該雜志自2008年以來由南非聯(lián)合國新聞社出版，自2009年以來與泰勒和弗朗西斯合作出版?！斗侵抻⒄Z研究》每兩年出版一次。

English Studies In Africa由Taylor & Francis出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋LITERATURE全領(lǐng)域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細分領(lǐng)域中專業(yè)影響力一般，過審相對較易，如果您文章質(zhì)量佳，選擇此期刊，發(fā)表機率較高。平均審稿速度 ，影響因子指數(shù)0.3，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
