Abstracting and Indexing

The Africa Digital Governance and Law Review (ADGLR) is committed to increasing the discoverability, accessibility and global visibility of scholarly research in digital law, technology, governance and public policy. The Review seeks inclusion in reputable scholarly abstracting, indexing, discovery and research-information services that support the dissemination and visibility of academic publications. ADGLR is committed to pursuing inclusion in appropriate scholarly databases and indexing services that align with the Review's scope and academic standards. Applications for indexing and abstracting services are made progressively as the Review satisfies the relevant eligibility requirements of each service.

Inclusion in an indexing or abstracting database is subject to the independent evaluation and acceptance of the respective indexing organisation.

ADGLR does not represent an application, pending evaluation or future intention as confirmed indexing.
