Call for Papers: African Journal of Creative Economy (AJCE)

The Editors of the African Journal of Creative Economy (AJCE) invite you to submit your paper for review and consideration for publication. AJCE is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal with a multidisciplinary focus on the creative economy in Africa and the global South — including the creative industries, cultural policy, cultural management, and cultural economics. Although a new journal (established in 2024), articles published in AJCE have already been downloaded more than 18,000 times, and the journal is now included in EBSCO’s databases. More information about AJCE’s focus, scope, and author guidelines can be found on the journal website.
