Talk:Open Access

The journal Polarforschung has now been added to the directory; have a look at the description at: "Journal owners" is a link that allows journal owners to upload the article metadata either one by one or file by file. It is password protected so the program can recognize which journal the articles belong to. When a journal is added to DOAJ, a password is generated and it will be working immediately.
