<div dir="ltr">The link to a DOAJ search is a useful innovation for the editors of OA journals, but it would be more useful to have the kind of button used by Google and Bing, in which to embed the search query. As it is, an editor must carry out the DOAJ search and then embed the link in some "home-made" button or link - which is rather more time consuming. I use the Google, Scholar Google and Bing buttons on all the papers in Information Research (<a href="http://informationr.net/ir/20-4/infres204.html">http://informationr.net/ir/20-4/infres204.html</a>) and a similar button for the DOAJ search would be most helpful<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 7 January 2016 at 09:04, Iryna Kuchma <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:iryna.kuchma@eifl.net" target="_blank">iryna.kuchma@eifl.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">[Forwarded message from <span class="gmail_sendername">Dominic Mitchell</span> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dom@doaj.org" target="_blank">dom@doaj.org</a>>]</span><br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>Happy New Year to all of you!<br>
<br>
We are pleased to announce that you can now embed a set of search<br>
results or a DOAJ search box directly into your web sites. This has<br>
great advantages, for example: a publisher can now display a list of<br>
all its journals or articles, indexed in DOAJ, on its own site; a<br>
library can display all DOAJ indexed journals with no APCs that have<br>
the Seal; a researcher might embed a list of all open access articles<br>
with a CC BY license that are pertinent to her research group.<br>
<br>
You can also embed a DOAJ search box directly into your site, allowing<br>
your users to search for open access, peer reviewed journals and<br>
articles directly. A user carrying out a search in this way will be<br>
taken to the search results in DOAJ. The search box can be embedded<br>
into your site, library portal, web page or blog, making quality open<br>
access material more easily accessible alongside other content.<br>
<br>
