From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Open J-Gate claims to be the "world's biggest open access English language journals portal". It is an electronic gateway to global journal literature in the open access domain — open access journals . It was launched in Bangalore, India in 2006 by Informatics (India) Ltd to promote the Open Access Initiative.

It offers links "to over a million open access articles" which is a number that "is growing with 350000+ new articles added every year". Full-text links are regularly validated. It also promises constant updating, well-designed journal classification, table-of-content browsing, easy-to-use functionalities (search options by title, author, abstract, author's address or institution, or keywords).

Some of its features include having the "largest number of e-journals". Open J-Gate says it indexes articles from 3600+ academic, research and industry journals and more than 2000 of them are peer reviewed scholarly journals.
