</div><div>We have just completed the transition to a new environment and launched <br>a new platform with integrated functionality for sharing, exporting and <br>
enhanced search/browse functionality: at the article level, search <br>results can be filtered by language and publication year and by license <br>and publication fee; at the journal level, you can filter by subject, by <br>
country, by license and by publication fees. These facets will be <br>developed further in the months to come. (Read more about our <br>enhancements on our home page: <a href="http://www.doaj.org" target="_blank">www.doaj.org</a> <<a href="http://www.doaj.org" target="_blank">http://www.doaj.org</a>>.)<br>
</div><div>We are also very proud to announce that the DOAJ has reached two <br>important milestones:</div><div> 1. For the first time since launch in 2003, more than 50% of the<br> journals are providing metadata at article level.We will continue to<br>
work with the 2000+ publishers to increase this figure.<br> 2. More than 1 million articles are now searchable in DOAJ which means<br> more than 1 million article-level metadata entriesare available for<br> harvesting!We expect this figure to increase significantly in the<br>
months to come.</div><div> </div><div>We continue to work with key stakeholders to agree on and implement new, <br>tighter criteria for the inclusion of journals in the DOAJ: critieria <br>that will address issues of quality and openness, as well as other kinds <br>
of information about the journals.<br></div><div>We are very excited about these developments and we are grateful for the <br>continued support from the community. We always need more support so we <br>can continue to provide a better service, so please consider <br>
