"Welcome to the Directory of Open Access Journals. This service covers free, full text, quality controlled scientific and scholarly journals. We aim to cover all subjects and languages. There are now 5065 journals in the directory. Currently 2089 journals are searchable at article level. As of today 401012 articles are included in the DOAJ service. "
The highest ranking journals, by citation and by consensus, maintain their reputation for publishing the most original and impactful research by excluding the vast majority of papers submitted. Only the crème de la crème are able to satisfy the exacting demands of the editors and reviewers of tier 1 journals, and in this way papers that do not meet the very highest standards, either as a result of calculation or previous rejection, come to be submitted to lower tier journals.
