Probably there are much more Diamond Journals in the world than the number we imagine.

The bureaucracy involved in adding a journal to the DOAJ is so great that many publishers probably give up on including their journals. They reject an application because of the smallest detail and the worst thing: the editor can only resubmit after 6 months!

The result: people are creating their own list of diamond journals.

I’m pleased to say that as of Monday I'll be working part-time as Head of Editorial at @DOAJ, the open access journal indexer lead by Joanna Ball. After working at three OA publishers and specialising in publication ethics, this role neatly blends my professional interests.

I'll still be available for other freelance work, providing it doesn't conflict with this role.
