The DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) was launched in 2003 at Lund University, Sweden, with 300 open-access journals. Today, the independent database contains ca. 12,000 open-access journals covering all areas of science, technology, medicine, social science, and humanities.

Because this is a directory of peer-reviewed journals freely accessible on the web, the titles cover a wide range of topics; careful searching may be necessary to discover relevant articles.

We subscribe to three JSTOR collections:

Arts & Sciences 1Ⅰ

Core research and society publications in the represented disciplines (economics, history, political science, & sociology).

Arts & Sciences 12Ⅻ

Extends coverage in the social sciences, focusing on disciplines with high usage and broad appeal across all levels of higher education; education, law, and political science disciplines anchor the collection, and include journals from the American Bar Association, Brill, Lynn Reiner, and Springer.
