Dear Sara Kjellberg, My view is that DOAJ engaging in definition polishing is premature. Your service is valued and appreciated by great number of academic libraries web sites (that I noticed personally), and is used by some services to libraries (like Serials solutions).
Those who use your service seem accepted your definition of Open Access, so, I do not see the point to modify (and especially adapt your definition of OA to major players of Open Access movement), when the whole concept is just developing. Please make a note of it. To remind all my view on the publication fee in OA is available at the following SPARC-OA Forum posts: summary post: https://arl.org/Lists/SPARC-OAForum/Message/386.html post 2: https://arl.org/Lists/SPARC-OAForum/Message/384.html post 1: https://arl.org/Lists/SPARC-OAForum/Message/383.html Sincerely, Alexei Koudinov Founder and Editor Neurobiology of Lipids http://neurobiologyoflipids.org
