[Smith, Ina <ismith@sun.ac.za>]

Dear Colleagues

This is excellent, and congrats to DOAJ who is doing a fantastic job!!! Please support them. Stellenbosch University is also in the process of registering the 12 journals that forms part of our pilot project with DOAJ, and hopefully they will appear there soon. You will already be able to find 2 of our journals (to be launched during OA week) on DOAJ:

Scientia Militaria: http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=findJournals&uiLanguage=en&hybrid=&query=scientia+militaria 
Global Media : African Edition: http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=findJournals&uiLanguage=en&hybrid=&query=Global+Media+Journal+%3A+African+Edition+

7000 journals and the DOAJ site in Turkish!

Directory of Open Access Journals is continuously growing - now there are 7000 journals listed in the directory! 45% of the journals are searchable on article level -- more than 600 000 articles searchable.

DOAJ is also aiming to make the site available in other languages than English. Recently the French version of the DOAJ site was launched and now we are happy to inform that the site is also available in Turkish, thanks to the cooperation between Lund University Libraries, Head Office and the consortium ANKOS, who carried out the translation.

General information about the DOAJ service:

*  Developing Open Access Journals by means of promoting open re-use policies - the SPARC Europe SEAL <http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=loadTempl&templ=faq&uiLanguage=en#seal>!

*  Working for long term archiving of Open Access Journals <http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=loadTempl&templ=longTermArchiving&uiLanguage=en>

We are very grateful for the contributions from our sponsors and for the support from individuals, universities, research institutions, library consortia and aggregators. The contributions have made it possible for us to do the work that we are doing!
