Summary:
"DOAJ is pleased to announce a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the China National Publications Import & Export (Group) Co., Ltd. (CNPIEC) to establish a joint DOAJ China Open Access Journal Pre-evaluation Working Group. The purpose of this working group is to provide greater support to Chinese journals and to promote the inclusion of high-quality open access journals from China in DOAJ.
Under the MoU, the working group will offer Chinese journals the opportunity to undergo pre-evaluation, receiving targeted feedback for improvement, recommendations on selection, and training to facilitate their smooth entry into the DOAJ formal application process. This initiative not only provides Chinese journals with a specialized and efficient pathway to application but also strengthens the platform for academic exchange between China and the international community."
