Abstract:

As a new model of academic communication，Open Access Journals provide a new channel for researchers to obtain scientific information, but there are still many researchers who suspect, even oppose to OAJ. The main cause lies in the quality of OAJ which the researchers distrust. The paper analyzed the OAJ selected by the DOAJ to show the general level of the quality of OAJ and analyzed the OAJ which indexed by SCI from many aspects. The studies have shown that the quality of OAJ has gone beyond the average level of academic journals. We should pay attention to OAJ and take full use of OAJ as an important supplement to existing library resources.
