Lexikos is an academic journal dedicated to lexicographic research, published by the WAT Bureau in the AFRALEX series since 1991. In 1996, the African Dictionary Association became its co publisher, making the journal an important voice in the field of African lexicography. This journal is mainly aimed at lexicographers and scholars interested in dictionary compilation, with a particular focus on dictionary compilation issues for African languages. It provides an academic exchange platform where scholars can share their research achievements, methodologies, and challenges in the field of dictionary compilation. Through this exchange, the magazine has promoted the academic community's awareness and understanding of the compilation of African language dictionaries, and advanced related research.

In addition, the magazine also recorded vocabulary knowledge of African languages, contributing to the protection and development of these languages. It is not only a platform for academic research, but also a bridge for cultural inheritance, which is of great significance for maintaining linguistic diversity and promoting cultural exchange.
