Congratulations to the team behind the journal Innovations in Graph Theory, hosted on the Centre Mersenne platform, whose application to the DOAJ has just been accepted!

https://doaj.org/toc/3050-743X

Innovations in Graph Theory is a mathematical journal publishing high-quality research in graph theory including its interactions with other areas. The journal is diamond open access, meaning there are no charges for authors and no charges for readers.

"#B!SON, a recommender for open access journals – grazing on #DOAJ data"
https://blog.doaj.org/2026/07/08/bson-a-recommender-for-open-access-journals-grazing-on-doaj-data/
#openaccess #journals

As of today, the Directory of Open Access Journals (#DOAJ @DOAJ) lists 23,131 peer-reviewed #OpenAccess journals, of which 14,347 charge no #APCs. Hence, 62% of these OA journals are no-fee or #DiamondOA.
http://www.doaj.org/

You can get the latest raw numbers any time you want on the DOAJ front page, and the percentage is an easy calculation. Please correct people who say or assume that all or even most OA journals charge APCs. Most do not.

Update. I'm very glad to see the #DOAJ endorse the #PKP "Publication Facts" label.
https://blog.doaj.org/2026/04/22/introducing-the-publication-facts-label-another-tool-in-your-research-integrity-toolkit/

I hope this nudges more publishers to use the labels. In any case, it should lead more readers to expect publishers to use them.
