TRANSCRIPT
Hi there. I am John Bond from Riverwinds Consulting and this is Publishing Defined.
Today I am going to discuss the Directory of Open Access Journals or DOAJ or DOAJ.
DOAJ is a community-curated list of open access journal. It defines OA journals as scholarly journals making all their content available for free, without delay or user-registration requirement, and meeting quality standards, by exercising peer review or editorial quality control. It uses the Budapest Open Access Initiative's definition of OA fora journal to be included, as the rights to "read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of [the] articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose.” The mission of DOAJ is to "increase the visibility, accessibility, reputation, usage and impact of quality, peer-reviewed, open access scholarly research journals.”
DOAJ is maintained by Infrastructure Services for Open Access or IS4OA. It started in 2003. Today it contains over 12,000 OA journals in over 120 countries and 70 languages. It is funded via donations. All DOAJ services are free of charge including being indexed in DOAJ.
DOAJ also operates an education and outreach program around the world. DOAJ metadata is widely available to everyone and inclusion in their list increases traffic to the journal’s site. I hope you will check out their work at DOAJ.org and consider submitting your OA journals for inclusion.
Well that’s it. I am a publishing consultant and work with associations, publishers, and individuals on a host of content related challenges. Reach out to me at RiverwindsConsulting.com with your questions.
