Support

Publisher supporter model

DOAJ relies on the support of publishers and libraries to ensure that its metadata and services remain free for all. The publishers on this page have chosen to show their commitment to quality, peer-reviewed open access by supporting DOAJ. We thank them, as our work would not be possible without them.

Pricing

We are introducing a revised and simplified model for publishers to support DOAJ for 2024 and publishing this openly in line with our commitment to the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure. We are also relaunching the set of benefits for publishers choosing to support us.

We only accept support through our publisher supporter model from publishers with journals already indexed in DOAJ. Non-commercial/institutional rates are only available to community-led, smaller publishers with limited funding. Contact us if you are unsure which category applies or if you want to discuss ways of further contributing to DOAJ’s operating costs.
