DOAJ
DOAJ is a community-curated online directory that indexes and provides access to high quality, open access, peer-reviewed journals. DOAJ is independent. All funding is via donations, 50% of which comes from sponsors (https://doaj.org/sponsors) and 50% from members (https://doaj.org/members) and publisher members (https://doaj.org/publishermembers). ALL DOAJ services are free of charge including being indexed in DOAJ.
All data is freely available.
20 Jahre DOAJ in 2023
On the 15th June, we're hosting the first of three events to mark our 20th anniversary🥳 Our first event will explore the theme 'Open' 💬 What does it mean to be open? What does the future of open scholarship look like? ..., check out our new webpage dedicated to our celebrations and events! https://doaj.org/at-20/ #DOAJat20 #openaccess #DOAJ

to support the sustainability of our core services. This means we will charge some users for access to the most up-to-date version of our metadata while ensuring that our core metadata services remain open to all. As always, we will listen to the community for feedback and aim to make iterative improvements to the services.
DOAJ remains committed to keeping our core metadata services open, community‑owned, and freely accessible, even as we introduce new premium metadata services. These value‑added offerings are designed to support long‑term sustainability while preserving free access to all essential metadata functions.
It costs money to keep metadata services online and open. For example, in 2025, our API received 412 million hits. Maintaining response times, security levels, system stability, and uptime at those levels requires developers, infrastructure, stress testing, and monitoring, all of which carry costs. We expect costs in 2025 to be even higher, especially after the surge in AI-bot-related traffic. The community isn’t obliged to support us financially. Anything given is done so voluntarily. Where would we find the funds to keep us operational if that support were to stop?
Open metadata, particularly FAIR metadata, drives open-access scholarship and increases the visibility and impact of open access scholarship. Our unique open dataset is integral to many discovery, indexing and cataloguing services, as well as to research projects, language models and AI-assisted learning. Our metadata is so embedded in discovery systems that it’s sometimes invisible, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing! This is because, as an open infrastructure that has been around for more than 20 years, we have grown with the community and have always ensured our services are completely open. We have always been there, always been reliable, always trusted.
In 2023, Research Consulting conducted a sustainability review of DOAJ. It was a review of DOAJ’s perceived value in the open access scholarly publishing community through a sustainability lens. In other words, to what extent do the funds generously given by the community every year match the value of DOAJ and its services? The results were published in the LSE Blog on 5th September 2023 and highlighted the challenges of funding open infrastructures and how sustainable growth requires survival strategies.
One of the review’s conclusions was that monetising the large-scale commercial use of DOAJ’s metadata services could increase revenue, while striking that all-important balance between financial sustainability and adherence to our POSI principles to which we have recently recommitted. To this end, we will monetise the commercial use of our metadata while ensuring we don’t stem the flow of FAIR metadata to the global community.
About the Premium Metadata Services
From 17th March 2026, we will split some of our metadata services into two distinct groups. (See the table below.) Other players in the industry, such as our friends at OpenAlex, are hosting larger, faster APIs that contain our metadata, so rather than focussing on capacity, we’re focussing on timeliness and the value of accessing the most up-to-date version of our metadata.
Therefore, our new Premium Metadata Services are built around the most recent versions of our journal and article metadata. They will be available for a fee and as a supporter benefit, either as a group or on a service-by-service basis.

DOAJ via KVK
... via KVK kann auch im Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) recherchiert werden. DOAJ ist ein von der UB Lund betriebenes Verzeichnis von elektronischen Zeitschriften, die nach den Grundsätzen des Open Access im Internet frei zugänglich sind.
Aufgenommen werden “free, full text, quality controlled scientific and scholarly journals, covering all subjects and many languages“, die kostenfrei sofort nach Erscheinen online zur Verfügung stehen. Ende Oktober 2012 waren in DOAJ über 8.000 Zeitschriften nachgewiesen. Bei ca. der Hälfte der nachgewiesen Titel ist es möglich, auch nach den Artikeln (mehr als 900.000) zu recherchieren.
Directory of Open Access Journals now proudly lists 20.000 journals
For 20 years, DOAJ has been at the forefront of advocating for open access and facilitating access to reliable academic research. For the DOAJ team, this milestone reflects the tremendous growth of the open access movement and their commitment to transparency and best practice in journal publishing. As the number of journals increases, so does the potential for sharing knowledge, connecting researchers, and advancing science and scholarship.
