We are very happy to welcome a number of Nordic research organizations as members of DOAJ.<\/span><\/p>\n

These organizations maintain the Nordic list of authorized research publication channels<\/a>. Several have open access policies and mandates in place and would like to pave the way for (new) open access journals to be visible in the directory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each country has significant running costs in maintaining and updating the bibliographic data in their databases. Sweden, Iceland and Faroe Islands do not have such a funding system but are planning to use similar lists.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Nordic countries are therefore cooperating on a common registry of research publications channels.
