DOAJ Widgets

You can embed tools on your own site which interact with the DOAJ. There are two available:

  • Simple Search - a search box which opens the DOAJ with your search text
  • Fixed Query - embed a specific set of results from a pre-defined query to the DOAJ

More information about this feature can be found on the widgets page.

OAI-PMH

Our OAI-PMH service was updated in April 2015. In that update we reinstated the doajarticle metadata tag and provided more granularity to the data. The notes below have been updated to reflect this change.

DOAJ supports OAI-PMH feeds for both Journals and Articles, at different URL-s.

Journal Feed

Identify - you can get to the base Identify endpoint here: http://www.doaj.org/oai?verb=Identify.

ListSets - DOAJ provides all its subject classifications as OAI-PMH sets, so you can harvest just those you are interested in. A full list of the sets can be found at http://www.doaj.org/oai?verb=ListSets.

ListMetadataFormats - DOAJ currently supports only oai_dc, which can be seen here: http://www.doaj.org/oai?verb=ListMetadataFormats.

The metadata held by DOAJ is mapped to Dublin Core in the OAI-PMH feed, with the following interpretations for each Journal field:

Dublin Core Meaning within DOAJ
title The title of the journal
identifier The ISSNs of the journal (both print and electronic) or a link back to the DOAJ record for this journal
subject free-text keywords or formal subject classifications. Formal classifications are prefixed by their scheme (e.g. CLASSIFICATION:Science), except in the case of Library of Congress Classification. LCC subjects are denoted by an additional attribute on this element, xsi:type="dcterms:LCSH".
language The languages that can appear in this journal
relation Links to related resources: the journal home page and the journal author-pays link if relevant
rights The journal's content re-use policy. Will be one of the Creative Commons licences
publisher The publisher/provider of the journal
type The type of the object; always contains "journal"

            O tabagismo é a segunda principal causa mundial de morte, sendo responsável pela morte de um a cada dez adultos (5 milhões por ano). Se os padrões atuais se mantiverem, em 2020 o tabagismo será a causa de 10 milhões de óbitos anuais, segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde. Realizou-se um estudo transversal, em 2002, no qual foram entrevistados 459 estudantes de oito escolas do ensino médio estadual em Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, para determinar a prevalência e os fatores associados ao tabagismo, obtendo-se um modelo logístico multivariável descrevendo como as chances de ser fumante estão relacionadas com as variáveis investigadas. A prevalência encontrada para o tabagismo foi de 18% (IC95%: 14,6-21,7), sendo que os estudantes começam a fumar, em média, aos 14 anos. Os resultados permitem concluir que os estudantes das escolas estaduais de Santa Maria começam a fumar precocemente, sendo influenciados pelos amigos fumantes (OR = 4,37; p = 0,000), pela renda familiar mensal (OR = 2,04; p = 0,013) e idade (OR = 1,86; p = 0,031), destacando-se a necessidade de se trabalhar, preventivamente, no grupo de risco observado.

Date changes were made live Changes
22 August 2016
  • The dc:rights element was removed, as it was technically inacurate - it represented the Journal's overall licence policy, not the specific rights for the article. This information is now in dc:provenance.
20 April 2015
  • The identifier element will now point to the DOAJ article page rather than the /search page. E.g. https://doaj.org/article/0000178c89214dc8b82df1a25c0c478e
  • Up to two new relation elements will appear for each article, containing URL-s to the Table of Contents page for the article's journal. The page can be reached via both print ISSN and E-ISSN, so up to two such links might appear.
  • subject elements which represent a Library of Congress Classification (LCC) topic will now be marked with an additional OAI DC-compliant attribute to denote this: xsi:type="dcterms:LCSH". LCC subjects will no longer be prefixed by LCC:.

File upload info

You need to convert your data to the DOAJ XML file format before you can add them to the DOAJ database.
If you are new to the world of file formats then please be assured that the XML file format is a simple and transparent form of data storage. Unlike some other data formats this one can be read and edited using an ordinary text editor.
You need to first run a script or a program that converts your database into the accepted XML format.
However, for our receiving database to be able to accept your input it is important that it is well written. That is its format must strictly adhere to a set of rules encoded in an XML schema file that we supply.
There are XML checkers/validators that can be found for free on the internet or may already be on your machine. These accepts as input your XML file as well as a description of the format that your XML file must adhere to. There is also help on our 'For Publishers' page.

Example XML File

The example file below contains only one record. Here is a list of each element in the XML file and whether or not it is required information. In reality very little is required by the DTD. However, providing the information to us ensures a more complete bibliographic record at DOAJ and across the web.

Language, ISO code - optional, but max. 1
Publisher - optional, but max. 1
Journal title - required, only 1
ISSN - optional, but max. 1 (Either an ISSN or EISSN must be present though)
EISSN - optional, but max. 1 (Either an ISSN or EISSN must be present though)
Publication Date - required, only 1
Volume number - optional, but max. 1
Issue number - optional, but max. 1
Start page - optional, but max. 1
End page - optional, but max. 1
DOI - optional, but max. 1
Document Type - optional, but max. 1
Title - required and there may be more than 1
Authors - fully optional
Affiliations - fully optional
Abstracts - fully optional
Fulltext url - required, only 1
Keywords - fully optional

PLEASE NOTE that DOAJ does not display or have any need for author email addresses. Publishers should not send email addresses to us in the XML. Recent restrictions on the use of personal data, as laid out by the GDPR, mean that it is your responsibility to ask authors' consent before you distribute their email addresses. DOAJ kindly requests that you DO NOT send any email addresses to us at all. Thank you.

 <= The language tag content must conform to the
    iso 639-2b standard. 
    Find the correct language code.

 <= Here is the issn number of the journal in which
    the article has been published. If you have an eissn
    number instead then this line should be replaced by
    17497221. If you have both issn
    and eissn numbers then the eissn tag should occur
    after the issn tag. 



 <= If the title occurs in more than one language
    then you may include those in your XML. However we can only display one language. The title tag
    has got the attribute language that must be set
    according to the ISO 639-2b standard.

<= The author name should be formatted First Name, Middle Name, Last Name

 <= Note that the affilitationId numbers denote the
    affilitations in the affiliationslist below.

The doajArticles.xsd schema file

This file specifies what may or may not be uploaded to the database.

    This schema determines allowable xml file formats
    for upload into the DOAJ database.

    The schema uses imported codes for the representation 
    of names of languages devised by the International 
    Organization for Standardization (ISO) 639-2/B 
    (bibliographic codes). Please note that when two 
    codes separated by a dash occurs in the iso 639-2 
    table then only the first code is used, the 
    bibliographic one. The terminology code that comes 
    second is omitted.
