Dear
all,
Since the launch in
2003 DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals, http://www.doaj.org) has steadily gained importance as the only
comprehensive quality controlled resource for open access journals. We are
now asking you to help us maintain this service by becoming a
member. Membership fees for 2008 (for new members) paid
after October 1st will also cover membership for
2009!
Membership benefits
include:
- Acknowledgement
as a DOAJ member on the DOAJ Membership Pages, including link to your
institution's/company's homepage
- Access to the
list of recently added titles
- Email
subscription to a quarterly newsletter
- Access to the
list of removed titles
- The right to use the
DOAJ membership in marketing activities
The membership
program was launched in 2007 to ensure the continued operation and development
of DOAJ. We are very grateful to all those that have already chosen to become
members, but we need more support to be able to sustain a high quality
service.
As of Sept 2008 DOAJ
is listing over 3600 full text, quality controlled, open access journals from
over 2000 publishers in 91 different countries. More than 1000 of the journals
are searchable on article level. The service aims to cover all scientific
subjects and all languages. Currently about 40 languages are represented in the
Directory.
Thank you for your
attention!
Sincerely,
The DOAJ
team
