Today, after an extended period of consultation and development, DOAJ<br>
launched a new and much extended form for journals wishing to be<br>
included in the DOAJ.<br>
<br>
Read the press release and access the form here:<br>

<br>
The form has been structured to collect upfront from the publishers as<br>
many quality indicators as possible about the journal. These<br>
indicators will be assessed as part of a journal's application.<br>
<br>
The form also introduces the DOAJ Seal, a mark of approval that shows<br>
how a journal strives towards Best Practice.<br><br>
