| Abstract: | This study focuses on Library and Information Science (LIS) journals listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) exploring their number, country-wise distribution, language use, licensing policies, peer-review types, article processing charges (APCs), and DOAJ Seal certifications. For this study, a quantitative method was adopted and systematically evaluated in Microsoft Excel. From DOAJ websites 198 journals with 61,630 articles (till 12.07.24) were analysed. The analysis disclosed that the United States is the top country in LIS journal publication, contributing approximately 16% of the total journals. English is the main language in 155 journals, with many journals existing in bilingual, trilingual, or multilingual. Licensing analysis showed that 91 journals utilized the CC BY license uniquely, with six journals adopting mixed licenses. 135 journals used double anonymous peer review. 88.89% of journals did not issue Article Processing Charges (APCs). Only 9.09% of the journals have been granted the DOAJ Seal. This study presented the important contributions and practices of LIS journals in helping open access and providing valuable identifications into their distribution, licensing, and peer review processes. |
