The site, in 2008
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 2008: Lund University, which had set it up, still maintained it. Infrastructure Services for Open Access took over in January 2013.
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.
