Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)
Open access journals use a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access. In addition to offering a handy online storehouse for these freely available, peer-reviewed publications, the DOAJ provides indexing, abstracting, and free full-text access for selected international scholarly journals in many subject areas, including agriculture and food science, biology, chemistry, health sciences, mathematics, physics, engineering, business, environmental sciences, and social sciences. All told, the Directory indexes more than 5,000 journals and nearly 400,000 articles.

DoPHER
The Database of Promoting Health Effectiveness Reviews covers more than 2,500 programs in the areas of health promotion and public health effectiveness. It is global in scope and is updated quarterly. While it does not contain full text, its specialized indexing enables searching on aspects such as country, health problem, population characteristics, or type of professional conducting the intervention. DoPHER, along with the companion TRoPHI database, is produced by The Evidence for Policy and Practice Information and Coordinating Centre at the University of London.
