Does anyone have a clue about whether it would be desirable and / or advisable to get JoPP listed into Scopus or ThomsonReuters Web of Science? Scopus is run by Elsevier which is obvs not great and after a brief look on their site I could not find info on how to be indexed. On the other hand Thomson does indicate what their criteria for inclusion is:

I wonder if we could get into WorldCat via a friendly university library ... ?

as per http://www.crossref.org/02publishers/20pub_fees.html <http://www.crossref.org/02publishers/20pub_fees.html>
DOI is $275 per year plus $1 per record (volume, issue and article)

a cheaper route as suggested here https://www.martineve.com/2012/07/11/starting-an-open-access-journal-a-step-by-step-guide-part-2/ <https://www.martineve.com/2012/07/11/starting-an-open-access-journal-a-step-by-step-guide-part-2/> is membership of OASPA at €75 which includes 50 DOIs per year
