Getting open access journals indexed by the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) is becoming increasingly important, as many organisations and funding agencies are now mandating that research is published in a journal included in DOAJ. A DOAJ listing is also a good way of demonstrating that your journal is reputable in a world of questionable journals and predatory practices. Thisd presentation reviews the requirements for inclusion in DOAJ, and some best practice recommendations, including the criteria for the DOAJ Seal.
