"A second evaluation of the African Journals Online (AJOL) project http://www.ajol.info/, which examines the development and status of the project since the last evaluation in 2002 to the end of 2005, and when it was handed over to African management, NISC South Africa Ltd. It aims to provide participating journals with information about the use of their journals within the AJOL service, and offers a variety of analysis, including number of page requests for each journal, registered users of the service, a record and analysis of document delivery requests fulfilled, by country of publication, by journal, and by subject. There is also analysis about the nature of AJOL registered users, collected through a questionnaire mailing, which examines usage information, and areas of special interest of AJOL users. A series of appendices provide tables showing the number of hits per journal for the 2004-2005 period (although these could be somewhat misleading, and number of unique visits to each journal’s AJOL Web pages might give a better idea of the interest in any journal), document delivery requests for each journal, and email alerts requested for each."
