petersuber<a href="https://h4.io/@joshisanonymous" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@joshisanonymous</a> Bracketing the problem of deciding which journals are "prominent", we have a good answer from the Directory of Open Access Journals (<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DOAJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOAJ</a>, <a href="https://masto.ai/@DOAJ" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@DOAJ</a>). As of today, it lists 21,452 <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenAccess</a> journals, of which 13,712 are <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DiamondOA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DiamondOA</a> or charge no <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/APCs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#APCs</a>. Hence. 63.9% (≈ 64%) of DOAJ-listed journals charge no APCs.

petersuber<a href="https://bolha.us/@josir" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@josir</a> Yes, it's been clear for a long time that <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DOAJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOAJ</a> doesn't include all <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DiamondOA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DiamondOA</a> journals. Many of us have wished that DOAJ could cover them more comprehensively — or that others would do so. Do you have examples of those non-DOAJ lists? Did you mean to include one more URLs?Here are two that used to be more comprehensive.

Josir GomesProbably 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.<a href="https://bolha.us/tags/DirectoryOfOpenAccessJournals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DirectoryOfOpenAccessJournals</a> <a href="https://bolha.us/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenAccess</a> <a href="https://bolha.us/tags/DOAJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOAJ</a> <a href="https://bolha.us/tags/EditorialPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EditorialPolicy</a>

We heard of publishers and editors who didn’t want to submit a journal application until their journal was compliant for the Seal. Furthermore, we had unintentionally created a journal ranking system, which goes against our mission of giving equal visibility to all journals regardless of discipline, geography and language. Over time, due to the nature of the criteria, it became clear the Seal was easier to achieve for better-resourced journals…[Our] survey showed that the community associates the Seal with high editorial quality and prestige and some even use the Seal as a yardstick of whether they should access or recommend the journal or not."Here's the current page on the DOAJ Seal. <a href="https://doaj.org/apply/seal/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://doaj.org/apply/seal/</a>PS: I welcomed the introduction of the Seal in 2014 and accept its retirement.

Thanks to a UI enhancement earlier this year, both numbers are displayed on the DOAJ front page. It's easy to get the latest numbers. It's easy to correct those who assert or assume that all or most OA journals charge APCs.
