Celebrating 20,000 journals in DOAJ: the value (and cost) of maintaining trust in scholarly publishing

The DOAJ team is happy to share a significant milestone: the 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.
