DOAJ
• Background
• Phase 1 – title level service
• Phase 2 – article level service
• Impact, usage, feedback
• Future – further development, sustainability, funding
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 5
Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)
• http://www.doaj.org/– A collection of peer reviewed open access
journals– All disciplines – all languages– One interface
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 6
Aims and goals
Increase visibility and access
= Increased usage
= Increased citation
= Increased impact
= Increased usage...
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 7
Selection criteria
• Agreed upon in the beginning of the project
• Open Access• Quality control measures, the journal must exercise
peer-review or editorial quality control to be included.
• Scientific or scholarly content
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 8
Open Access – our definition
We define open access journals as journals that use a funding model that does not charge readers
or their institutions for access. From the BOAI definition of "open access" we take
the right of "users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles" as mandatory for a journal to be
included in the directory.

Number of journals
• May 2003: 300
• November 2003: 558
• May 2004: 1097
• September 2004: 1231
• November 2004: 1345
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 10
November 2004
• 1345+ journals• 330 titles (61.000) with article level
metadata• Article level metadata for OAI-harvesting
available • Numbers growing
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 12
So far …
• Global visibility and dissemination of records– Integrated in OPAC´s in many, many
libraries– Several service providers are linking into
DOAJ– Integrated in the services of aggregators
(Ullrichs, Ebsco etc.)
• Frequently referred to as the most important listing
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 22
But still:
• Lots of work to do
• 100+ suggestions for ”new” journals every month
• Assisting publishers in creating and delivering OAI-compliant article level metadata
• Many ideas for improvements
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 24
“Since the beginning of this program, Lund University has provided encouragement to
faculty and librarians throughout the globe in providing secure and comprehensive access to important journals that are freely available world
wide. DOAJ has demonstrated the growing importance of alternatives to large scale
commercial publishing.”
Frances Groen, Trenholme Director of Libraries, McGill University, Canada.

The Directory of Open Access Journals is of paramount importance for the open access
movement. The site demonstrates the viability of new approaches in scientific publishing and its strong growth is a source of inspiration and encouragement to all who are working at an
opener access to the results of academic research. Numerous reports and important policy statements use the site as a point of
reference.
Leo Waijers, Library Director, University of Wanegen, Netherlands

Where do we go from here?
• Network of editors
• Make journals aware of possibilities
• Personalization – MyDOAJ
• Hybrid Journals
• Sponsorship programme
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 27
Integration of OA-material in Library & Information Services
• The problem: – conventional subscription based material
flows seamlessly into library services– supported by publishers, subscriptionsagents,
aggregators etc.– how to expose Open Access material to
users??
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 28
The bundling strategy
Bundling: the strategy of the commercial ”big deal” publishers)
In terms of access and usage bundling means:1. One database2. One single point of access – limited to the content
of one publisher3. Visibility for low usage (low quality?) journals
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 29
An integration strategy
Integration means:1. One database
2. One single point of access – independent of publishers
3. Visibility for smaller, not-for-profit publishers
And
4. Visibility for Institutional or Subject based Repositories and Open Access journals

The Open Access debate as vehicle for promoting the issues of Scholarly Communication and
Open Access into the agendaof the university, associations,
research funders etc
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 51
How we work with scholarly communication issues
Working at The local level – within the university The national level Internationally
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 52
Working within the university
The main problem – creating awareness! Making researchers aware Making university decision makers aware
The pricing issues the starting point, but rapidly moving beyond that
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 53
Lund University - recommendations• Mandatory registration of all published works in
the Institutional Repository (LU:research)• Authors should use the model license
agreement when submitting works to publishers• Authors should deposit their works in the
Institutional Repository
• Scholarly Communications and E-Publishing Advisory Board appointed by the Vice-Chancellor
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 54
Lund University
• Intellectual property rights agreements:– Working group with representatives from the
Law Faculty, the University Legal Department, and the Library Head Office have proposed model licenses for Lund University
– http://www.lu.se/jurenh/INTERN/avtal.html– Retaining the right to deposit a pre- or postprint
in the Institutional Repository

Roads for Knowledge – the need for a new strategy for
universities and their libraries
Report commissioned by the Association of Swedish Universities & University Colleges (SUHF) - http://
www.suhf.se/pdf/Biblioteksrapporten.pdf
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 62
Observations and recommendations:
• There is a need for changes in the current system for scholarly publishing
• The universities need to establish conditions for creating professional publishing services within universities and university colleges (BOAI 1)
• As of today the libraries are the natural choice for the organisation of such activities.
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 63
SUHF will
• Establish a task force to look at intellectual property rights agreements
• Investigate the long term effects of the current system of scholarly publishing
• Investigate and evaluate current research assessment and merit systems and
• Promote alternative approaches based on university publishing and other initiatives for open access publishing
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 64
SUHF has
• Appointed a task force to:– Initiate discussions with research
councils/funders initiated – Draft Intellectual Property Rights
agreements – retaining rights to deposit pre-/postprints on university servers etc
The task force will suggest SUHF to sign the Berlin Declaration later this year - DONE
November 2004 Lars Björnshauge 65
SVEP (Electronic Publishing in Swedish Universities)
• Aim:– Promote and coordinate the development of
electronic publishing at Swedish Universities
• Funded by BIBSAM (Royal Library, Sweden)
• Participants:– Uppsala, Gothenburg, Lund etc.
