BanglaJOL is a database of journals published in Bangladesh, covering the full range of academic disciplines.

History of BanglaJOL

Bangladesh Journals OnLine (BanglaJOL) was initiated in June 2007 and officially launched in September 2007. It is a project supported by INASP. In 2014, the management of BanglaJOL moved to the Bangladesh Academy of Sciences (BAS) and it is hosted by Ubiquity Press. It is also part of the Ubiquity Press Network.

BanglaJOL aims to promote the awareness and use of Bangladesh-published journals in all disciplines by providing access to tables of contents (TOCs), abstracts and full text on the Internet. BanglaJOL uses the Open Journals System created by the Public Knowledge Project based in Canada. This software is open source and allows the journal content listed on BanglaJOL to be indexed through Open Archives Initiative search engines dedicated to research, which harvest the metadata for each journal article, making this work readily available to a global audience, and giving the journals greater visibility among the worldwide research community.

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

They are scholarly in content, and contain original research (in addition to other content)
Their content is peer reviewed and quality controlled
They are able to provide all content for inclusion on BanglaJOL (tables of contents, abstracts and PDFs of full text) in electronic format
They are published within Bangladesh. Management of publishing strategy, business development and production operation are all run from Bangladesh.

BanglaJOL 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. Most of the full text articles are also available. All the material on BanglaJOL is free to view, search and browse, however copyright of all content is retained by the journals or authors – each journal will need to give permission for any use or re-use of the content that falls outside Fair Use. BanglaJOL is not a publisher: BanglaJOL 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 they welcome submissions from registered users
