The Directory of Open Access Journals indexes free peer review research journals from any country in any discipline. The directory is funded by the Soros "Open Access Initiative" which seeks to make the fruits of academic research freely available on the internet.

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, Budapest Open Access Initiative, 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. The journal should offer open access to their content without delay. Free user registration online is accepted.
