Location

DOAJ is a membership organisation and membership is available in 3 main categories: Publisher, Ordinary Member and Sponsor. A DOAJ Membership is a clear statement of intent and proves a commitment to quality, peer-reviewed open access. DOAJ is co-author to the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing (Principles) and DOAJ members are expected to follow these principles as a condition of membership. DOAJ reserves the right to reject applications for membership, or revoke membership if a member or sponsor is found to contravene the Principles. Read more about membership here.
DOAJ is a community-curated list of open access journals and aims to be the starting point for all information searches for quality, peer reviewed open access material. To assist libraries and indexers keep their lists up-to-date, we make public a list of journals that have been accepted into or removed from DOAJ but we will not discuss specific details of an application with anyone apart from the applicant. Neither will we discuss individual publishers or applications with members of the public unless we believe that, by doing so, we will be making a positive contribution to the open access community.
DOAJ publishes Information for Publishers on this site to help Publishers adhere to the Principles and to assist them in completing an application. DOAJ also publishes a list of FAQs relevant to all members of the publishing community, particularly libraries and authors. All information on this site is available to both members and non-members.
Aims & Scope
The aim of the DOAJ is to increase the visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals, thereby promoting their increased usage and impact. The DOAJ aims to be comprehensive and cover all open access scientific and scholarly journals that use a quality control system to guarantee the content. In short, the DOAJ aims to be the one-stop shop for users of open access journals.

El tratamiento de los corredores fluviales en la planificación urbanística española, y en particular madrileña, ha pasado de considerarlos como límite a la expansión urbana (S. XIX), a tratar de conferirles una función recreativa y de ocio (1920-1960), a mirarlos como espacio de oportunidad para el desarrollo urbano e industrial (1960-80) y finalmente a concebirlos como espacios a proteger del desarrollo urbano (1980-2007).
Región de Aisén - Chile: dos décadas de ordenamiento territorial y propuestas de estrategias y modelos de desarrollo sustentable/ Region Aisen - Chile: two decades of land use and proposed strategies and models for sustainable development
Por más de dos décadas, en la Región de Aisén, en la Patagonia chilena, se vienen proponiendo modelos y estrategias de desarrollo innovadoras en busca de sustentabilidad. Estas propuestas han estado acompañadas con diversos intentos de ordenamiento territorial, aprovechando su escasa ocupación, lo cual en el último tiempo ha colisionado con intereses económicos./For over two decades, in the Aisen Region in the Chilean Patagonia, have been proposing models and innovative development strategies for sustainability.
Surface rights
In many cities of Brazil, social inequality is illustrated by violence, poverty, and unemployment located next to luxurious residential towers and armored passenger cars. In the face of this situation, the National Movement of Urban Reform encouraged the inclusion of the social function of property in Brazil's new constitution of 1988. Surface rights represent an urbanistic instrument in the city statute that is best aligned to the constitutional principles and urban policies.
Envisioning Parking Strategies in the Framework of Sustainable Urban Transport
Monetary instruments to regulate parking are often used in central areas of cities to discourage long term parking of vehicles. The availability of parking facilities, and its cost, in fact represents an important element in the decision to operate private vehicles in urban areas. The availability of instruments and tools to check the outcome of modification in parking regulations, in terms of modification of car use, successfully support planners in the determination of the best policies to decrease congestion, and regulate the use of transportation in cities.
Ville nouvelle, quarante ans après. Les pionniers vieillissants de Maurepas New cities, forty years later. The ageing pioneers of Maurepas
Construites à partir des années 1960 sous l’impulsion du Schéma directeur d’Aménagement et d’Urbanisme de 1965, cinq villes nouvelles ont vu le jour en région parisienne. Leur aménagement laisse entrevoir une volonté de répondre à des besoins urbains identifiés, se conjuguant parfois avec l’offre d’espaces, de services ou d’équipements envisagés alors comme novateurs. Maurepas, rattachée jusqu’en 1984 à l’agglomération nouvelle de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, a été façonnée en partie par ces aspirations.
