Printed knowledge generated in African countries is given global exposure in the African Index Medicus. It will promote African publishing by encouraging writers to publish in their country or regional journals, whereas now scientists and researchers in developing countries are competing for publication space in the few world-wide "prestigious" journals.


All African medical journals could be indexed in the AIM database. Articles on or related to Africa and published in other regional or international journals are indexed.
