Why you should support us

  • We are community-led and -governed. Your support enables us to remain committed to maintaining 100% independence.
  • Supporting open infrastructure is a strategic choice for libraries and institutions, demonstrating a commitment to open research and sustaining open infrastructure.
  • We are seeing a steady increase in demand: the number of applications we receive each year has increased by 60% since 2018, and our investigations into questionable publishing practices are becoming numerous and more complex.
  • Your support helps us in our role of driving standards and best practice in open access publishing, for example through the Principles of transparency and best practice in scholarly publishing and the OA Journals Toolkit.
  • You rely extensively on our metadata as a source of trusted open access journals, either by integrating it yourself into discovery systems and open access services or using services that already do that.

By supporting us, your organisation will join a growing family of like-minded institutions committed to ensuring quality content is available online for everyone. Supporting DOAJ is a statement of belief in equitable open knowledge and science.
