Angolan Mineral, Oil and Gas Journal (AMOGJ), ISSN 2708-2989 and DOI 10.47444, releases today its sixth edition. This new edition presents a range of relevant and contemporary topics in the fields of mineral resources, oil, and gas, aligned with the key economic, technological, and environmental challenges currently shaping both Angola and the global landscape.

Among the themes featured is the article “The Great Illusion of Growth Driven by Crude Oil Exports: The Paradox of Prosperity in the Angolan Economy”, which offers a critical analysis of Angola’s structural dependence on crude oil exports and its implications for building a sustainable development model. This edition will also include additional scientific papers, covering diverse areas such as technological innovation, energy transition, natural resource governance, and the expanding role of artificial intelligence in the extractive industry, which will be made available soon.

With this publication, AMOGJ reinforces its commitment to fostering national and international research by providing a qualified scientific platform that contributes to Angola’s technological advancement. The journal aims to inspire professors, researchers, and students to engage with this body of knowledge as a foundation for academic projects and research initiatives capable of generating meaningful impact across both public and private sectors.

Since its inception, AMOGJ has received submissions from three continents—Africa, Europe and South America—and its published papers have reached researchers in more than 129 countries, including Angola, the United States of America, Brazil, Portugal, China, the United Kingdom, India, France, Egypt, Russia, Canada, Ireland, and Finland, among others. This broad international reach has resulted in numerous citations of its articles and the recognition of an impact factor of 1.365, awarded by the International Institute of Organized Research.
