Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of DOAJ, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

FAQ

Questions DOAJ owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I search for journals using specific fields like title or ISSN?

    Yes! Use the search_journals capability with Elasticsearch query string syntax. For example, you can query bibjson.title:"Journal of Science" or bibjson.pissn:"1234-5678" to find exact matches.

  • 02

    How do I submit a batch of new articles at once?

    You can use the bulk_create_articles capability. It allows you to submit a JSON array of article objects asynchronously. This is ideal for publishers managing high volumes of data.

  • 03

    Is it possible to request updates for an existing journal listing?

    Yes, publishers can use the create_application capability to submit an update request for an existing journal by providing the updated metadata and referencing the current journal ID.
