Directory of Open Access Journals
The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) is at the University Library of the University of Lund in Sweden vested and since 2013 by the British -non profit organization IS4OA powered directory of electronic magazines , which according to the principles of open access in the Internet are freely accessible .
Scientific journals with quality control are included, which are available online free of charge immediately after publication (and not after a blocking period, embargo period ). The majority of the publications recorded do not show any release of content, for example according to the Creative Commons model , although the open access declarations not only want to remove the price barriers, but also oppose permission barriers .
In December 2004 the DOAJ had over 1,400 entries, in January 2006 it reached 2,000 free journals. In October 2007 2,880 journals were listed, in September 2008 it was 3,644, in September 2010 5,350, in October 2012 8,317, on January 5, 2014 9,804, on January 30, 2015 10,205 and on December 4, 2015 10,800 journals.
In contrast to the Electronic Journals Library (EZB), which lists considerably more journals as "free" due to less stringent admission criteria, some of the journals can be searched for individual articles (in January 2006 around 400 journals with almost 84,000 articles , in September 2008 1,254 journals with 209,571 articles, in September 2010 2,257 journals with 442,468 articles, in October 2012 4,099 journals with 919,304 articles). As of January 5, 2014, 5,636 journals (with a total of 1,573,847 articles) were searchable at article level, which corresponds to around 57.5% of all listed Open Access journals. As of January 30, 2015, 6,084 journals with 1,833,467 articles were searchable.
Entries from journals and articles are available according to the OAI standard.
In 2014, the criteria for inclusion in the DOAJ were changed so that journals that were registered according to the old criteria up to March 2014 have to apply for a new entry.
DOAJ is funded through donations, 40% of which come from publishers and 60% from the public sector.
