Information For Librarians

The Ethiopian Journal of Health and Biomedical Sciences (EJHBS) is a high-quality, peer-reviewed source of health and biomedical research. We encourage research librarians to include EJHBS in their institution’s electronic journal holdings and digital discovery layers.

1. Platinum Open Access & Universal Discovery

EJHBS provides immediate, permanent, and free access to its full-text content. By listing EJHBS, libraries support the global exchange of knowledge and provide their patrons with a unique "Ethiopian Perspective" on biomedical and clinical research.

• ISSN (Print): 2070-6898
• ISSN (Online): 2790-3087
• Accreditation: Ethiopian Ministry of Education, March 2023 (till 26/03/2026).

2. Technical Compatibility & Metadata

Our journal is powered by Open Journal Systems (OJS), which supports the OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) for seamless integration into:

• Library catalogs and discovery services (e.g., Ex Libris, EBSCO).
• Institutional repositories.
• Global indexing databases.

3. Digital Preservation

To ensure the long-term integrity of the scientific record, EJHBS is committed to digital archiving. We encourage librarians to manage our content through permanent archiving systems such as LOCKSS or CLOCKSS, ensuring that the journal's content remains secure and accessible for future generations of researchers.
