Lund University Libraries last week launched phase 2 of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). The new version of DOAJ now includes records at article level and a search functionality allowing users to search articles in potentially all Open Access Journals. The Directory aims to increase the visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals (journals that use a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access) thereby promoting their increased usage and impact. Includes all open access scientific and scholarly journals that use a quality control system to guarantee the content. 21 journals are currently listed under Law.
The Electronic Law Journals (ELJ) project was established by the CTI Law Technology Centre at the University of Warwick in 1995 to promote the development of an electronic legal culture in academic journal reading, writing and publishing. A comprehensive directory was established to assist users to quickly find accurate information about UK law journals (both paper and electronic) with links, where applicable, to online information sources such as publishers’ home pages, electronic contents and abstracts of journals etc. Although this resource is now out of date, it is still quite useful, but check details with the appropriate publisher (such as price changes etc), before purchasing.
