> 
> Vietnam: http://www.vjol.info

> 
> What is a JOL?
> Journals OnLine (JOLs) are a service to provide access to locally published research and increase worldwide knowledge of indigenous scholarship.
> 
> A JOL is a database of journals published locally, in-country, covering the full range of academic disciplines. The objective of each JOL is to give greater visibility to the participating journals, and to the research they convey.
> 
> How JOLs work:
> JOLs use the Open Journals System created by the Public Knowledge Project (http://pkp.sfu.ca) based in Canada. They provide participating journals the opportunity to take control of their own area within the JOL: to load, edit and to update their own journal information.
> 
> Researchers can read free abstracts and access full text articles from participating journals, while authors can submit their articles online by following a few simple steps.
> 
> JOLs offer participating publishers: 
>             • Online hosting of abstracts free of charge 
>             • Opportunity to load full text online 
>             • Loading and managing own content 
>             • Consistent growth in exposure 
>             • Online instructions for authors 
>             • Contact information
> 
> JOLs offer researchers: 
>             • Reputable peer reviewed journals 
>             • Free access to abstracts 
>             • Free email alerts 
>             • Sophisticated searching facilities 
>             • Links to online full-text 
>             • Online article submission
> 
> For inclusion on a JOL a journal must be: 
>             • Scholarly 
>             • Peer reviewed 
>             • Published within the JOL’s country
