Why is it important?
Given that medicine constitutes the discipline most highly represented among OA journals, our findings indicate that the quality of its content makes the DOAJ database comparable with other similar commercial databases.
Perspectives
Given the rapid spread of medical misinformation, I hope that researchers will consider DOAJ as one of their important "go to" resources.
