The international academic journal Journal of Educational Technology and Innovation (JETI), published by World Sports University Press, has officially been indexed in the globally renowned Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).
This significant milestone reflects international recognition of JETI’s academic quality, editorial rigor, peer-review standards, and commitment to open-access publishing. The inclusion further strengthens the journal’s growing international academic influence in the field of educational technology and innovation.
Established in 2003 by Lund University in Sweden and currently operated by an independent non-profit foundation based in Denmark, DOAJ is widely regarded as one of the world’s most authoritative open-access journal databases. Alongside major indexing systems such as SCI, Scopus, and EI, DOAJ is recognized within the academic community as one of the leading international literature indexing platforms and is widely considered the “gold standard” for open-access publishing.
DOAJ applies highly rigorous evaluation standards when reviewing journals for inclusion. Beyond confirming open-access availability, the assessment process examines more than 30 criteria, including peer-review mechanisms, editorial board composition, publication ethics, copyright policies, article quality, and website transparency. As a result, DOAJ does not simply index all open-access journals; rather, it selectively includes high-quality, peer-reviewed journals that meet internationally recognized standards of academic publishing.
For academic journals, inclusion in DOAJ represents a strong endorsement that the publication process, editorial management, and scholarly quality have achieved international standards. For researchers and scholars worldwide, DOAJ serves as a trusted platform for accessing high-quality academic literature that is freely and immediately available. The database currently indexes more than 20,000 journals from over 130 countries across a broad range of disciplines.
JETI’s successful inclusion in DOAJ demonstrates that the journal’s published research meets international expectations in originality, methodological rigor, writing quality, and academic contribution. The journal focuses on educational technology and innovation, providing an international platform that bridges academic research and practical application. Published articles cover emerging topics including digital learning, artificial intelligence in education, virtual reality teaching, educational data science, and related interdisciplinary innovations.
According to World Sports University Press:
“JETI’s inclusion in DOAJ is not only recognition of the collective efforts of our editorial team, reviewers, and contributing authors over the years, but also an affirmation that the open-access philosophy and rigorous academic standards promoted by the journal have gained international recognition. We will continue to uphold high-quality publishing principles and provide an excellent platform for the global educational technology research community.”
JETI welcomes submissions and citations from scholars, researchers, and educators worldwide, and remains committed to advancing the frontiers of educational technology and innovation through international academic collaboration.
