    1. need to focus on holistic approaches that experiment with novel and equitable forms of OA ensuring research quality and integrity, that addresses copyrights and intellectual property issues

      I would suggest that future campaigns need to also focus on faculty and the researchers, and simplifying OA so that clear and correct messages about the true nature and benefits of OA ('Open in order to accelerate progress towards solving global challenges') are understood. More equitable forms of OA are absolutely needed but we must be careful that we don't alienate researchers even further.

    2. commercial publishers

      And it's not just commercial publshers but faculty and researchers too.

    3. China, Latin America, India and several African countries contributing large quantities of OA articles.

      And Indonesia

    4. OA advocates have become savvier and more watchful of opponents’ moves towards commercial control of research mechanisms and business models that exclude authors on economic grounds.

      Surely the growth of the internet, networking platforms and social media since BOAI has contributed largely to this?

    1. is typically assigned a DO

      Are DOIs assigned to all articles, or are there some articles published without them?

    2. citation counts and journal Impact Factors

      How prominent is the use and influence of IFs in South Korea?

    1. The future of scholarly publishing, in particular the growth of Open Access publishing and how it is financially sustained, is hotly debated. Many different models, advantages, and disadvantages are being discussed

      I assume that this refers to the Global North (for want of a better term)? In Latin America, there is predominantly one model and that is fairly stable.

      Sophy, we need to see what this look like once someone is signed in.

    1. PubMed Central (PMC)

      I am worried that are going to get lots of people clicking Other: EuropePMC instead of selecting this option. I found this page: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/pmci/ - I think we should go back to PMC/EuropePMC. PMC Canada doesn't exist anymore anyway.

    1. Search tip: If you write more than one word in your search query it will be treated as a phrase.

      This is a new style of Tip, different to the ones on other pages which are in the right-hand column. Is that a problem? Is this here because this page doesn't have a right-hand nav?

    1. Creative Commons licensing information must be displayed in all full-text article formats

      I am not happy with this change. If this is the final, agreed criteria for the Seal then the question in the application form needs to be updated. Ping Judith.

      Long help text missing: The country where the publisher carries out its business operations and is registered.

    1. Scandinavian University Press (Universitetsforlaget AS)

      @sophy - column width needs to be increased to stop ..laget.. breaking over 2 lines.

    1. On DOAJ, the parameters included in the request are passed to our search interface, which provides the top result. This means that using OpenURL isn’t guaranteed to find your result 100% of the time, even if it exists.
    1. The parameter QUERY_OPTIONS takes a subset of fields to define which results to retrieve. The example above displays the journals containing the word medicine in the title and in alphabetical order. Configuration via these QUERY_OPTIONS provides a simplified way to display results by keyword.

    1. XML

      This page doesn't sit well with the other items in the menu which cover metadata out. This is specifically metadata in.

    2. Article metadata is provided to DOAJ by publishers on the understanding that the data will then be available for free, to be distributed to any third party who wants it. We do not check metadata quality as we ingest it — this is the publisher’s responsibility — so any errors (for example, typos in author names, URLs, or DOI) will not be corrected. Users of our metadata may contact us to ask for metadata to be corrected.

      Review this and soften it. This page provides instructions on how to do this. For publishers or 3rd parties working on their behalf.

    1. About

      If you click 'Support' it takes you to Support DOAJ. If you click About, it doesn't take you to About DOAJ. Shouldn't we have one or the other throughout the nav?

    2. membership

      We need to get rid of all mentions of 'members' and 'membership' etc

    1. Learn more

      This button has a different movement

    2. Support DOAJ

      Not sure what I think about this button motion. Shouldn't it be the other way around, ie it moves out when you hover over it? Dunno. Really not an issue.

    3. Journal publishers don’t need to donate to be part of DOAJ.

      Consider changing to: 'Journal publishers don't need to donate to submit an application to us. Having a journal indexed in DOAJ is always free of charge.'

    5. Journals RSS

      I thin it is strictly an Atom feed and not an RSS feed, although I have no idea what the difference is!

    6. See all

      This section might include a link to our Atom feed of recently added journals

    7. 130

      I might change the running order here to be: Total journals Article Abstracts Countries Recently updated journals Journals without APCs

    8. open access articles

      Change this to say 'Article abstracts' only

    9. open access journals

      Maybe even just change this to say 'Journals'. All journals in DOAJ are OA by definition

    1. DOAJ team

      If Team members don't supply an image, the blank space is quite huge and obvious. Any way to overcome that?

    1.  

      I almost feel like the long help now belongs with the 'Link to the journal's open access statement' text. The text in the long help now isn't directly related to 'Where can we find this information?'
