The Open Society Institute funded various open access related projects after the Budapest Open Access Initiative; the Directory was one of those projects. [10] The idea for the DOAJ came out of discussions at the first Nordic Conference on Scholarly Communication in 2002. Lund University became the organization to set up and maintain the DOAJ. [11]
