“Three tips to choose a publishing venue using the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)”

This blog post on LinkedIn introduces the reader to the new Directory of Open Access Journals interface and how to use it to find an open access journal publishers using different criteria including type of license, use of important standards for discoverability, for example, DOIs, how to filter by no-fee journals, and, most importantly, how to find a good match for your work.

Why should you consider publishing in a (fee-free or diamond/platinum) open access journal? Aside from open access as a social justice issue, your work is more likely to be read and cited more. Additionally, your work may find broader audiences including journalists, students, and others.
