In June 2013, DOAJ announced its intention to revise its criteria for
selecting journals to be included in the directory

(http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=news&nId=303&uiLanguage=en).

A public consultation period followed where feedback was received. The
consultation period incited much discussion on social media, in
mailing lists and via email. Redalyc ran several workshops (see page 5
- https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1Fw8p9XB3C6Qlp1Rm9kRVUwNzg/edit?usp=sharing
) dedicated to raising awareness and collecting feedback.

In general, the changes were welcomed by the communities but further
refining was needed: the consultation period produced some important
feedback. A summary of changes and DOAJ's response to each is now
available:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1Fw8p9XB3C6NjBwN3dGNFpqajA/edit?usp=sharing.

Most significantly, it was clear that the term "revised Selection
Criteria" was not appropriate to describe the project that DOAJ is
undertaking.

As a first step, all changes have been incorporated into a draft Google form

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1u0F-fVbEHySkTRXvJLkfd1s_ace9-nTzRYIWdJwSR68/viewform

The fully functional form will be hosted directly on the DOAJ site, as
it is now.

DOAJ is also publishing its Roadmap of activities until the end of 2013

We encourage you to share this document with your institutions and libraries.
