Directory snapshot
Live counts from the 11,447-journal dataset the rest of the site runs on. Nothing on this page is written by hand — every figure below is generated directly from api/journals.json, the source our tools also read, so it cannot drift out of sync with what the journal pages show.

How this page works
This page has no editorial content to go stale. It is regenerated from the live dataset whenever the directory data is rebuilt, and the figures above also re-fetch and recompute themselves in your browser from the same live file on load, so what you see reflects the current data even between rebuilds of this page. There are no dated blog-style entries here describing events, because we do not narrate changes we have not verified — see methodology for how the underlying data is built and corrected.
If you are looking for a specific correction — a fee that changed, a journal that moved publisher, a delisting — check the journal's own page first, since that is where corrections are applied directly, or contact us if something looks wrong.
