Background

The South African Journal of Agricultural Extension has been published since 1966 (established at the University of Pretoria, South Africa), without interruption. The former version of this journal was titled Suid-Afrikaanse Tydskrif vir Landbouvoorligting (ISSN 0301-603X), and was published in print. The journal migrated to the PKP OJS journal management system available through the ASSAf Khulisa Journals platform during March 2021.
