The Journal of ExtraCorporeal Technology (JECT) is pleased to announce that it has been accepted into the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). The journal joins over 20 000 other high-quality, open access, peer-reviewed journals that meet DOAJ's strict criteria and are dedicated to promoting open access to scholarly and scientific content.

Indexation in DOAJ means that JECT is fully compliant with DOAJ's open access policy. It also means JECT’s visibility and ease of use for readers worldwide will increase, and its usage and impact in the field of extracorporeal technology will be maximised.

"Joining DOAJ, JECT opens new doors to a global readership, reinforcing our commitment to scholarly excellence, open access principles, and making a substantial impact in the dynamic field of cardiovascular perfusion", commented Raymond Wong, the Editor-in-Chief.

JECT joined EDP Sciences and became fully gold open access in January 2023, ensuring the highest possible accessibility to quality research in the field of perfusion. JECT has served as the official publication of AmSECT since 1967 and supports a global community of perfusionists, anesthesiologists, surgeons, and researchers in these fields where technology evolves continually. AmSECT is fully funding the cost of article processing charges (APCs) for AmSECT members. The journal’s international editorial board is comprised of leading experts from several countries.

We are confident that the indexation in DOAJ, combined with our commitment to providing high-quality, peer-reviewed content, will provide a strong foundation for the further growth and success of the journal.
