Improvements to RoMEO

The RoMEO Journals Database

All journals have the same policy

Clients may have different policies

Some journals are special cases

Compiling our own journal database

• Harvested directly from publishers’ websites– Greater accuracy and timeliness– Better mapping of journals to publishers

• Extra data– Titles and publishers covered by Zetoc or DOAJ– Fewer journals without policies in RoMEO

• Extra fields– ESSN, Alternative titles, Selective availability of Paid OA

• Overcoming Zetoc problems– ‘Trust’ order: RoMEO DOAJ Zetoc

RoMEO Journals by Country

~19,700 journals from 1,006 publishers
