We added a new filter to our journal search: author retains all rights.

Open access journals that don’t charge fees and where the author retains all rights. These are the kinds of journals that DOAJ wants users to find more easily. We want to give further visibility to those journals that more closely follow DOAJ’s definition of open access.

The ‘author retains all rights’ metadata has always been available for download via our journal CSV, the API, or our OAI-PMH feed but was never available for users via our search interface.

Earlier today, we released an update to our search interface to provide users with an author retains all rights filter.

There are 7154 journals in DOAJ where the author pays no fees and retains all rights.

There are 3400 journals in DOAJ where the author pays no fees, retains all rights and the content is licensed with a CC BY license.
