The AGRIS database has recently enriched its collection of full text articles from scholarly journals on agriculture with the Agriculture and Food Science set of data from DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals):  18,864 citations with full text from 102 new journals.

Keeping pace with the OA movement

By providing access to a huge amount of open, full text documents from scientific journals, AGRIS keeps pace with the Open Access movement, allowing students and scientists to expand their knowledge on the entire research landscape of agriculture and related topics. Some of the AGRIS “aggregator services” themselves, such as DOAJ or Scielo, have indirectly contributed to the increase of the OA global awareness, and increased the visibility of istitutional repositories, journal publishers, and last but not least the authors of the articles.
