Support

Publisher supporter model

We rely on the support of publishers and libraries so we can uphold our commitment to ensuring that our journal reviewing and metadata services remain free for all. The publishers on this page have chosen to show their commitment to quality, peer-reviewed open access by supporting DOAJ. We thank them, as our work would not be possible without them.

Pricing

We always publish our simplified support prices openly, in line with our commitment to the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure.

We only accept support through our publisher supporter model from publishers with journals already indexed in DOAJ. Non-commercial/institutional rates are only available to community-led, smaller publishers with limited funding. Contact us if you are unsure which category applies or if you want to discuss ways of further contributing to DOAJ's operating costs.
