[open-science] [Open-access] How do you evaluate Open Access Journals?

[Ivan Ferrero]

Dear all thank you for your replies!

I go point by point...

1) a link to the ever-updated DOAJ would be more comfortable for us, but
the idea here is to give our Psychologists Colleagues a curated list of
Journals useful to them.
I take the suggestion and talk with the staff of the National Psychologists
Order.

2) while I'd like to contribute to the evaluation, I'm not a Researcher nor
I know statistic, so I'm not able to evaluate the researches.
And yes...a task force made of Psychologists to curate a listing would be
very useful, so I stay open minded to any suggestion
