We recently introduced you to the journal categories at our openCost workshop in Hamburg (you can download the presentation slides here: <a href="https://indico.desy.de/event/35620/contributions/126853/">https://indico.desy.de/event/35620/contributions/126853/</a>). At the beginning of the new year, we would like to publish these categories with their definitions in a glossary in the EZB. The glossary is intended to be a reliable source of information for users (authors, librarians etc) and re-use in other services. Furthermore, these categories can be used to generate journal lists and enhance journal search in the EZB. Considering that there may be different understandings of the same terms in the library world, it is especially important to us that we get community-based feedback, as we aim for providing a firm definition of these terms.</div><div><br></div><div>Below are four categories in German and English you are welcome to review with a critical eye. <em>Beyond that, w<span id="GWPasted2">e also invite you to suggest further journal categories!</span> </em> </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><strong>Indexed in DOAJ</strong><br>The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) indexes and provides access to high quality, open access, peer-reviewed journals.

The journal may have a similar name as the subscription title, but it must have a different ISSN.</div><div><br></div><div>Ein Mirror Journal ist eine vollständig frei zugängliche Version einer bestehenden Subskriptionszeitschrift mit demselben Editorial Board, Aims und Scope, denselben Peer-Review-Verfahren und -Richtlinien sowie einem Editorial Board, das zu mindestens 50 % aus denselben Mitgliedern besteht.

Using S2O, a publisher offers a journal’s current subscribers continued access. If all current subscribers participate in the S2O offer (simply by not opting out) the publisher opens the content covered by that year’s subscription.</div><div><br></div><div>S2O ermöglicht es Verlagen, Zeitschriften von Subskriptionen auf OA umzustellen, und zwar jeweils für ein Jahr. Mit S2O bietet ein Verlag den Abonnenten einer Zeitschrift weiterhin Zugang. Wenn alle bisherigen Abonnenten an dem S2O-Angebot teilnehmen, stellt der Verlag die Inhalte, die durch das Jahresabonnement abgedeckt sind, auf Open Access um.</div><div><br></div><div>Source: <a href="https://subscribetoopencommunity.org/">https://subscribetoopencommunity.org/</a> </div><div><br></div><div>We would be happy to receive your feedback by the beginning of December!</div><div><br></div><div>Many thanks in advance,<br></div></div></span></div><span id="GWSignatureSent" style="padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; display: block;"><span style="display: block;"><br><span style="font-size: 10pt; display: inline-block; -ms-word-wrap: normal;"><div><br> </div>
