Hi everyone

Dear Dr. O�Neil,</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
I am one of the volunteer Associate Editors at Directory of Open Access Journals (<span style="">DOAJ</span>). I am currently processing your application for Journal of Peer Production to be included in
<span style="">DOAJ</span>.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Your application states that you do not have article processing charges (<span style="">APCs</span>) or article submission charges. However, the link you gave where this information can be found does not mention
<span style="">APCs</span> or submission charges. In order to be included in <span style="">
DOAJ</span>, you must explicitly state that you do not have such charges.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
One of the requirements for entry into <span style="">DOAJ</span> is that your journal website must include an open access statement. The link provided on the application,
<a href="http://peerproduction.net/" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193); text-decoration: underline;" id="LPlnk219910" previewremoved="true">
http://peerproduction.net/</a>, does not have a statement. I would like to suggest that you take a look at some of the journals that are currently in
<span style="">DOAJ</span>. <i style="">Film Criticism</i> has a brief, clear statement about open access that also describes how readers can use the content:
<a href="http://www.filmcriticismjournal.org/about.html" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193); text-decoration: underline;" id="LPlnk929304" previewremoved="true">
http://www.filmcriticismjournal.org/about.html</a> Using such a statement would also fulfill another requirements for inclusion in
<span style="">DOAJ</span>: stating your license or use terms for the reader.</p>

Your application also stated that the author does not hold the copyright without restrictions, and does not retain publishing rights without restrictions. However, I could not find any information about the copyright transfer requirement, or an indication of
the rights holder for a published paper. This signals a lack of transparency in the authoring and publishing process. If you send me a link where this information can be found, I can update your
<span style="">DOAJ</span> application.</p>
