[GOAL] Request Your Help for an open access study on non-English-language journals

[Nadia]

Hi,

Not sure if this is helpful at all - found it on Web of Science
http://wokinfo.com/russian/editors/ while googling for open access in
Russia (therefore the language of the link). It has a list of many oa
journals in different countries and the language is also mentioned. So far
I could not find any oa journals in Russian, asked a colleague, will let
you know if I hear from him.

Best wishes,
Nadia

> We have started a study to look at a subset of Open Access scholarly
> journal publishing, which we feel has been overlooked in much of the

> journals, as well as older print journals that have started to make
> the e-version free. The vast majority of these probably don?t charge
> authors. There are a number of reasons there have been few results
> about the overall extent of such publishing etc. One is that many
> leading researchers come from countries where English is the main
> language, and many studies have from the start been restricted to such
> only journals publishing in English, in order to facilitate the
> gathering of data. Another is that non-English journals are likely to
> be underrepresented in all the available indexes, including the DOAJ.

> We have so far indentified two easy ways to find information about
> such journals. The first is using DOAJ and its search facilities. The
> second one is using the OA journal portals we are aware of, such as
> Scielo, J-stage, doiSerbia etc. In addition to this there are many
> countries, which don?t have such portals and we would like also to get
> information from those. For this purpose we try to contact experts who
> we believe have good knowledge of the situation in their countries and
> could provide us links to list of all reputable scholarly journals in
> their country, lists of OA journals etc.
>
> Countries which interest us in particular are: Canada, Most European
> countries (except the UK) and including Russia, Francophone countries
> in Africa, Middle East and Asian Countries.
>
> We will use three ways to contact volunteers who can help us:
>
> Contact with the management of DOAJ and its voluntary editorial staff
> An email to The Global Open Access List (GOAL)
> Direct e-mail to people we know
>
> If you feel you are in a position to provide us information, please
> contact us by e-mail
