The Lund University Libraries in Sweden support this directory of over 6000 open access journals, 2000+ of which are searchable at the article level. All subjects are included with large collections in biology, education, health sciences, history, library and information science, mathematics and the social sciences.  The aim of the Directory of Open Access Journals is to increase the visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals thereby promoting their increased usage and impact, with the additional goal of becoming comprehensive, covering all open access scientific and scholarly journals that use a quality control system to guarantee the content.  The Directory of Open Access Journals currently provides 268 computer science journals and many more under the subject tree of engineering and technology. 

 The DOAJ defines open access as journals that use a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access. Additionally the journal must provide:

• Peer-review or editorial quality control
• Report primary results of research or overviews of research results to a scholarly community
• Must appear or intended to appear indefinitely at regular intervals, generally more frequently than annually, each issue of which is numbered or dated consecutively and normally contains separate articles, stories, or other writings
