The International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP) has announced that Vietnam Journals Online (VJOL), a project supported by the INASP, now has 1,000 journal articles online. Initiated in July 2006, VJOL was officially launched in September 2007. The project aims to promote the awareness and use of Vietnamese-published journals in all disciplines by providing access to tables of contents (ToCs), abstracts and full text on the Internet.
VJOL is a database of journals published in Vietnam, covering the full range of academic disciplines. Not a publisher itself, it provides a service to the journals by hosting their content online, and actively promoting the website to encourage discovery of these titles and their articles. Individual journals are also using the website to publish their journals and welcome submissions from registered users.
VJOL provides information on each participating journal, including aims and scope, contact details and general information. It also provides ToCs and abstracts (where available) for all articles published within these journals. Many full text articles are also available. All the material on VJOL 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.
