Given the overlap in the screening criteria between DOAJ and OASPA, and that DOAJ is primarily an index of reputable open-access journals, we have agreed with the DOAJ that, with immediate effect, all single journals that apply to OASPA will now be referred to the DOAJ if the journal is not already listed in DOAJ. We feel that this is also in the best interests of single journal applicants because indexing by the DOAJ is the most effective way for those journals to increase their visibility, which is frequently their stated reason for applying to join OASPA.
