We&#8217;d like to hear what you think of the upgrades!<\/p>\n<p>A few comments about what you will see now on the site:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I mentioned that <a href=\"https:\/\/doajournals.wordpress.com\/2015\/04\/07\/twelve-exciting-and-important-developments-due-for-release\/\">we will need some time for the data to settle<\/a>. The site displays the new dataset only. That means that the data will grow as publishers resubmit their reapplications and those are accepted back into DOAJ. If you have been monitoring the data closely, there will be a large jump in the figures you are reporting on so you&#8217;ll need to account for that in any analysis that you do. Specifically, the number of journals with or without APCs has changed and the totals for the number of articles published per year have also shifted. I shall publish a blog post shortly that contains the last counts of the APC data and articles per year before the site was upgraded. This will serve as a historic record only but it is important that it is available online.<\/li>\n<li>Every journal has an extended &#8216;home page&#8217; on DOAJ that reveals all the new data we&#8217;ve been collecting in our new form. There&#8217;s all the important bits up at the top, especially the APC information and then, by clicking on the &#8216;More&#8217; button, you can reveal information about licensing, copyright and best practices that the journal adheres to.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ve improved the way that tables of contents are displayed so you can now see clearly the volumes, issues and, if a journal has one, a continuation.<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ve tidied up the URLs. For example URLs for journals now look like this http:\/\/doaj.org\/toc\/2175-8042 instead of like this http:\/\/doaj.org\/toc\/0006191878084b8d8bddae52ce72c948. An improvement; I hope you agree!<\/li>\n<li>Try our built-in URL shortening service from Bit.ly. It turns this:<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/doaj.org\/search?source={%22query%22%3A{%22filtered%22%3A{%22filter%22%3A{%22bool%22%3A{%22must%22%3A[{%22term%22%3A{%22_type%22%3A%22article%22}}%2C{%22term%22%3A{%22index.license.exact%22%3A%22CC%20BY%22}}%2C{%22term%22%3A{%22index.classification.exact%22%3A%22Health%20Sciences%22}}]}}%2C%22query%22%3A{%22match_all%22%3A{}}}}%2C%22from%22%3A0%2C%22size%22%3A10} into http:\/\/bit.ly\/1IQ11j3 in two clicks!<\/li>\n<li>Finally, we&#8217;ve added OpenURL back to the site so for any of you who were using that service to link out to DOAJ, you should find that those links now resolve again.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thanks for your patience as we settle into the new data structure. It&#8217;s going to take some time for things to even out, not least because our site upgrade has revealed the true nature of the data and we have some data clean-up tasks to do.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any specific questions about what you are seeing then do get in touch!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All of our new site upgrades were successfully rolled out to the site last Wednesday.
