SciELO SA is operating from the www.scielo.org.za domain. The SciELO SA site has went live on1 June 2009, and the following journals have been uploaded and are accessible: HTS, South African Journal of Science, Koedoe and the South Africa Journal of Education.

SciELO SA is modelled on SciELO Brazil, as it successfully combines the most desirable features , including effective mechanisms for the selection of journals to be included in the service (analogous to ASSAf’s envisaged peer review panels); free online open access publishing; a variety of features to facilitate contextual understanding and contact between readers and authors; and full mark-up and indexing, permitting direct online bibliometric analysis and  web-based usage statistics, etc.

The following journals are currently being uploaded on the platform but are not yet accessible: the South African Journal of Medicine, the South African Journal of Surgery, WaterSA and the Potchefstroom Law Journal.
