Rezumat	The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) is a community-maintained, freely accessible directory of high-quality, peer-reviewed open-access journals and articles established in 2003. DOAJ indexes over 20,000 open-access journals across all disciplines (sciences, social sciences, humanities, arts) from diverse geographic regions. The directory serves researchers, librarians, and administrators as the authoritative curated list of legitimate open-access journals—differentiating quality open-access publications from predatory journals that lack genuine peer review. DOAJ quality seal, awarded to journals meeting stricter governance and transparency criteria, enables identification of the highest-caliber open-access publications.	Web of Science (WoS) is the oldest and most established multidisciplinary citation database, maintained by Clarivate Analytics since 1964. It indexes over 21,000 peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and books across sciences, social sciences, and humanities. WoS provides researchers, librarians, and administrators with comprehensive citation tracking, publication metrics, and research evaluation tools essential for literature review, impact assessment, and research strategy.
