Open Access Monitor: Mirror Journals

A mirror journal is a fully open access version of an existing subscription journal, with the same editorial board, aims and scope, peer review processes and policies and an editorial board with at least 50% of the same members. The journal may have a similar name as the subscription title, but it must have a different ISSN. (https://doaj.org/apply/guide/) In a joint working group, composed of staff from the university libraries of TU Berlin and TU Braunschweig, as well as from the Charité and Forschungszentrum Jülich, review criteria were developed and a list of journals was compiled. All journals were checked by at least two institutions according to the four-eyes principle. Mirror Journals are excluded from the "OA-Zeitschriftenliste DFG-Anträge" More about the Mirror Journals list: https://jugit.fz-juelich.de/synoa/oam-dokumentation/-/wikis/English%20Version/Source%20Databases/Journal%20Lists
