Profile of Electronic Scientific Journals in Angola (Resumo em Livro de Resumos, p. 30-32)

Scientific journals play an important role as a channel for communicating scientific research results around the world. In recent years, the number of electronic scientific journals in Angola has increased, despite of their low visibility internationally. The objective of this article is to describe the profile of electronic scientific journals in Angola. This is an exploratory and documentary research, in which a total of 14 web pages of scientific journals were observed, using a form, containing a control list with the following items: year of creation, responsible institution, area of knowledge, periodicity of publications, last publication, indexing in databases, use of ORCiD by authors and information on the date of submission, acceptance and publication of originals. The results indicate that more than half of the scientific journals are multidisciplinary in nature and were created between 2012 and 2019; they are linked to Higher Education Institutions and are indexed in at least one database, with biannual publications. However, the study also shows that the majority have not published for at least a year. It is concluded that the profile of electronic scientific journals in Angola, reflects the country's academic and scientific context, with many challenges to be overcome in this area.
