DOAJ added and withdrawn change log - have your say

[Dominic Mitchell]

Dear community,

DOAJ has been manually maintaining a change log of journals added and withdrawn from the Directory for over ten years. We are considering retiring these two lists since most of the information contained in them is available in our metadata feeds.

We have published a short survey asking for community feedback: 

ENGLISH - https://forms.gle/XvusQ1bqWhbSD4tw7

SPANISH - https://forms.gle/yYuu8CJDmX5CX9us6

PORTUGUESE - https://forms.gle/YMtZmQVcibPKrJkh8

It is important to us what our community thinks so please help us to spread the word of this survey so we can be sure we capture as many people's opinions as possible.

There is more information about why we want to retire these lists on our blog: https://blog.doaj.org/2025/07/14/let-us-know-is-it-time-to-retire-the-added-withdrawn-change-log/

Kind regards

Dominic
