FYI. -----Original Message----- From: An informal open list set up by UKSG - Connecting the Information Community On Behalf Of Lotte Jorgensen Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 6:26 PM Subject: DOAJ reaches new milestones March 12th 2013 DOAJ reaches new milestones: We have just completed the transition to a new environment and launched a new platform with integrated functionality for sharing, exporting and enhanced search/browse functionality: at the article level, search results can be filtered by language and publication year and by license and publication fee; at the journal level, you can filter by subject, by country, by license and by publication fees. These facets will be developed further in the months to come. (Read more about our enhancements on our home page: www.doaj.org <http://www.doaj.org>.) We are also very proud to announce that the DOAJ has reached two important milestones: 1. For the first time since launch in 2003, more than 50% of the journals are providing metadata at article level.We will continue to work with the 2000+ publishers to increase this figure. 2. More than 1 million articles are now searchable in DOAJ which means more than 1 million article-level metadata entriesare available for harvesting!We expect this figure to increase significantly in the months to come. We continue to work with key stakeholders to agree on and implement new, tighter criteria for the inclusion of journals in the DOAJ: critieria that will address issues of quality and openness, as well as other kinds of information about the journals. We are very excited about these developments and we are grateful for the continued support from the community. We always need more support so we can continue to provide a better service, so please consider contributing: http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=loadTemplate&template=supportDoaj&uiLanguage=… For more information, please contact Lars Bjørnshauge <mailto:lars@doaj.org>or Dom Mitchell <mailto:dom@doaj.org> The Directory of Open Access Journals is provided by IS4OA <http://www.is4oa.org>in cooperation with SemperTool <http://www.sempertool.dk>.

It recognizes the centrality of transparency and accountability to the development process and includes principled commitments to strengthen public ownership and oversight of Bank-financed operations. The Bank’s Open Data, Open Finances, Geomapping, Open Knowledge Repository (OKR) and other platforms and open tools, Mobile apps represent its efforts to foster transparency and openness. This workshop has thus been planned to raise awareness and ensure that average citizens and beneficiary communities learn to use the policy and open tools to access timely and relevant information and data on Bank-financed projects and make the Open Agenda to be better known among academics, researchers, CSOs, and policymakers in country.
