THE DIRECTORY OF OPEN ACCESS JOURNALS REACHES AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE - NOW THERE ARE 2500 JOURNALS IN THE DOAJ
As of today the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ, http://www.doaj.org) contains 2500 open access journals,
i.e. quality controlled scientific and scholarly electronic journals that are freely available on the web.
As of today researchers can find information about the "pure" OA journals from DOAJ and about the "hybrid" journals that for a fee allow the authors to publish their research as OA in an otherwise subscription based journal. We are very pleased to see that the usage of this new service is also increasing.
For a closer look at the new service go to http://www.doaj.org and choose "For authors" in the menu.
If you know of a journal that should be included in the directory, use this form to report it to the directory:
http://www.doaj.org//suggest <http://www.doaj.org/suggest> .
Thank you for your interest and support!
