Sri Lanka Journals OnLine

Sri Lanka Journals OnLine (SLJOL) is a service to provide access to Sri Lankan published research, and increase worldwide knowledge of indigenous scholarship.SLJOL is a database of journals published in Sri Lanka, covering the full range of academic disciplineswith the aim of giving greater visibility to the participating journals, and to the research they convey. Sri Lanka Journals OnLine (SLJOL) was initiated in August 2008. It is a project supported by the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publication (INASP).


Journals are selected for inclusion on SLJOL using the following criteria:

1.They are scholarly in content, and contain original research (in addition to other content)

2.Their content is peer reviewed and quality controlled

3.They are able to provide all content for inclusion on SLJOL (tables of contents, abstracts and PDFs of full text) in electronic format

4.They are published within Sri Lanka. Management of publishing strategy, business development and production operation are all run from Sri Lanka.

SLJOL provides information on each participating journal, including aims and scope, contact details and general information. It also provides Tables of contents and abstracts (where available) for all articles published within these journals. Many full text articles are also available.

All the material on SLJOL is free to view, search and browse, however copyright of all content is retained by the journals or authors - each journals will need to give permission for any use or re-use of the content that falls outside Fair Use.

The journals are listed alphabetically, to help researchers find journals of relevance, and allow browsing of the journals and the website also has a sophisticated searching tool, to help researchers locate articles of interest and relevance to their area of study. Email alerts also provide a reminder service, to alert researchers to newly-published issues from their selected titles.

Researchers should also take note of the Research Support Tool which accompanies the abstracts of each article. The links from the red box to the right of each Abstract screen are designed to support the reading and use of the abstracts. Tools offered include information about the authors, quick and easy links to allow identification of further articles from other websites, definition of difficult terms using online dictionaries (simply click twice on any word in the abstract), and the automatic generation of citations to the article using "Capture Cite."
