DOAJ reaches important milestone

It was recently announced in a press release that DOAJ had added its 4,000th journal.

The Directory of Open Access Journals contains open access journals which are subject to appropriate quality standards and which are freely available on the web. DOAJ attracts over 8,000,000 visits per month and contains journals in about 50 languages from 98 countries in diverse subject areas. DOAJ takes a pro-active approach to quality control and pursuant to this 94 titles have been removed so far this year.

I congratulate DOAJ. Libertas Academica has enjoyed worked with DOAJ for several years and we look forward to continuing to do so into the future. In the past I have interviewed DOAJ staff for this blog.
