It runs the DOAJ and, until 2017, the Open Citations Corpus. In a 2015 comparison with MEDLINE, PubMed Central, EMBASE and SCOPUS, DOAJ resulted to have the highest number of open access journals listed, but less than a half of them had actively published contents on DOAJ. [13] There is a partnership between DOAJ and OpenAIRE since October 2022 ...
This is a list of open-access journals by field. The list contains notable journals which have a policy of full open access. It does not include delayed open access journals, hybrid open access journals, or related collections or indexing services.
It was founded in 2000 and launched its first journal, PLOS Biology, in October 2003. As of 2024, PLOS publishes 14 academic journals, [2] including 7 journals indexed within the Science Citation Index Expanded, and consequently 7 journals ranked with an impact factor. PLOS journals are included in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).
The impact factor (IF) or journal impact factor (JIF) of an academic journal is a scientometric index calculated by Clarivate that reflects the yearly mean number of citations of articles published in the last two years in a given journal, as indexed by Clarivate's Web of Science.
While these journals still did not receive an impact factor until the next year, they did contribute citations to the calculation of other journals' impact factors. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] In July 2022, Clarivate announced that journals in the ESCI obtain an impact factor effective from JCR Year 2022 first released in June 2023.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in major indexing services like Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E), [3] Current Contents, [3] Scopus [4] and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). [5] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 7.032 and a 5-year impact factor of 7.41. [6]
The journal is abstracted and indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded, the Social Sciences Citation Index, Current Contents/Agriculture, Biology & Environmental Sciences, Scopus, [4] PubMed [5] and the Directory of Open Access Journals. [6] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2023 impact factor of 3.7. [7]
It is commonly used as a proxy for journal quality, expected research impact for articles submitted to that journal, and of researcher success. [203] [204] In subscription journals, impact factor correlates with overall citation count, however this correlation is not observed in gold OA journals. [205]
