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 Bj�rnshauge <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>.
