The SASEV JOURNAL, South African Journal of Enology and Viticulture, picks a bountiful crop
With distribution to 23 countries, more than 1 000 subscribers and two issues per annum, the SASEV journal, South African Journal of Enology and Viticulture, is showing steady growth, especially with regard to research articles from abroad. Operational status of the journal is now fully electronic and all articles are submitted online to the following website: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sajev. Several initiatives have been launched to increase circulation of the journal and achieve greater impact.
South African Journal of Enology and Viticulture is the only wine journal registered on Manuscript CentralTM. This places the journal in an extremely competitive position, especially with regard to its nearest rivals, American Journal of Enology and Viticulture and Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research.
Articles in the South African Journal of Enology and Viticulture can be traced through search engines such as Google. Titles of the past two years’ articles, authors and contact details are also available on the SASEV website (http://www.sasev.org). As from June 2008 abstracts of published articles, as well as abstracts of congress presentations, will be uploaded to the SASEV website. Access to full length articles can be obtained free of charge from the SASEV website. This decision was made at a recent board meeting. A limited number of hard copies of each issue will be bound for those who do not have access to internet facilities.
In addition to huge savings in printing costs, using electronic media offers easier access to the latest research, especially to overseas scientists.
South African Journal of Enology and Viticulture (ISSN number 0253-939X) has already been registered on Thomson Scientific’s Master Journal List (http://www.scientific.thomson.com). This paves the way for inclusion in ISI Web of Knowledge, one of Thomson Scientific’s products, and subsequent accreditation. These databases handle more than 5 700 mainstream journals in 164 research disciplines, including Viticulture and Oenology. Full length articles are filed in the EBSCO database and abstracts of each article in CAB Abstracts, a CABI Publishing product, which has a comprehensive database including areas such as Viticulture, Oenology, Biotechnology, Plant pathology, Plant physiology, Soil science and Horticulture.
South African Journal of Enology and Viticulture publishes local research as well as research from organisations around the world. Research published in the journal has an international readership, enhanced by the transition to electronic media. Unlike articles in popular magazines, the work is evaluated by recognised scientific peers, both locally and internationally, before being published.
South African Journal of Enology and Viticulture presents the scientist with the opportunity to disseminate his research and ensures that the work is read internationally.
An invitation is extended to each scientist to publish their research, whether full length articles, research notes or review articles in South African Journal of Enology and Viticulture. Contributions in any of the following areas are welcome: Oenology, Viticulture, Soil science, Microbiology, Plant pathology, Entomology and Biotechnology. The process is user friendly. You simply log onto http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sajev, thereafter you will be taken through the process step by step.
South African Journal of Enology and Viticulture boasts a dedicated editorial board, all leaders in their own right, viz. assistant editors: Drs Victoria Carey and Albert Strever (Viticulture), Prof Pierre van Rensburg and Dr Vivian Watts (Oenology), Prof Marius Lambrechts (Wine biotechnology), Hennie Groenewald (Plant biotechnology), Prof Bernard Prior and Dr Maret du Toit (Microbiology), Drs Sandra Lamprecht and Francois Halleen (Plant pathology), Dr Pia Addison (Entomology), and Drs Philip Myburgh and Eduard Hoffman (Soil science).
Sincere thanks to Winetech, whose funding has made a major contribution to the development of the journal. Only through ongoing financial support will the journal rise to even greater heights.
