This site features a journal score card, where authors who publish in scholarly Open Access titles rate their experiences from 1-5 based on the following criteria:

1. The editor of the journals is responsive
2. The peer review of the journal has added value
3. I would recommend scholars to submit their work to this journal
4. I would deem this journal good value for money

There is also a text box for reviewers to enter any comments they may have about the journal. More about the score card can be found at http://www.qoam.eu/journalscorecard.
