Aim & Scope:
The aim of the Directory of Open Access Journals is to increase the visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals thereby promoting their increased usage and impact. The Directory aims to be comprehensive and cover all open access scientific and scholarly journals that use a quality control system to guarantee the content. All subject areas and languages will be covered.
Definitions:
Definition "Open Access" Journal: We define open access journals as journals that use a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access. From the BOAI definition [1] of "open access" we take the right of "users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles" as mandatory for a journal to be included in the directory.
Definition Quality Control:The journal must exercise peer-review or editorial quality control to be included.
Definition Research Journal: Journals that report primary results of research or overviews of research results to a scholarly community.
Definition "Periodical: A serial appearing or intended to appear indefinitely at regular intervals, generally more frequently than annually, each issue of which is numbered or dated consecutively and normally contains separate articles, stories, or other writings. Newspapers disseminating general news, and the proceedings, papers, or other publications of corporate bodies primarily related to their meetings, are not included in this term. Ann Okerson made the observation, "those who compile and publish a directory like to think they can see overarching trends. Two are worth mentioning: (1) blurring boundaries between the different types of electronic serials, so that it is difficult to categorize them by the same taxonomies as those used for paper serials; and (2) blurring boundaries between formats. That is, some electronic serials are electronic only, but various of them either index or review paper publications, and others move between electronic and more traditional formats." [2]
