DOAJ Reviewed

Directory of Open Access Journals - review by Peter Jacso, Gale (Dec 3)

Directory of Open Access Journals has bibliographic information on nearly 5,000 journals and holds abstracts for 331,000 articles from 1,725 journals.

While it is on the small size, the collection is broad.

"DOAJ has excellent broad subject area coverage. Journals are classified under 17 broad subject categories. This is a reasonable categorization, except perhaps to have a separate main category for Arts and Architecture (111 journals), but not a separate main category for Humanities, where Languages and Literature alone has 160 journals and History has 130."
