The sponsors of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) have announced that the directory now contains 3,000 quality controlled scientific and scholarly electronic journals that are freely available on the web. The usage of DOAJ has seen constant increase across all parameters, with the service being used by visitors from more than 160 countries. In addition, hundreds of libraries across the globe have included the DOAJ titles in their catalogues and other services, and commercial aggregators are also benefiting from the service.
DOAJ seeks to increase the visibility and accessibility of open access scholarly journals, and thereby promote their increased usage and impact. The directory aims to comprehensively cover all open access scholarly journals that use an appropriate quality control system.
DOAJ is sponsored by the National Library of Sweden, Axiell, EBSCO, Proquest, INASP, Swedish Library Association and Lund University.
