The site, in 2003
A community-curated list of peer-reviewed open-access journals, kept by Infrastructure Services for Open Access.
By April 2025 it listed over 21,480 journals and more than 11 million articles. A reapplication drive that ended in December 2017 removed close to 5,000 journals, most for failing to reapply.
In 2003: Launched with 300 open-access journals. The idea came from the first Nordic Conference on Scholarly Communication in 2002.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
