DOAJ launches new application form

Today [March 20, 2014], after an extended period of consultation and development, DOAJ launched a new and much extended form for journals wishing to be included in the DOAJ.

 Read the press release and access the form here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dr3jnOygvuDlONSBv8lho4McQsEPFd0a5gtxjCmKd9k/edit?usp=sharing

 The form has been structured to collect upfront from the publishers as many quality indicators as possible about the journal. These indicators will be assessed as part of a journal's application. The form also introduces the DOAJ Seal, a mark of approval that shows how a journal strives towards Best Practice.
