This development means that the journal's articles will now be more widely accessible, reaching a global audience interested in the intersection of religious studies and cinema.

The DOAJ is a leading online directory that indexes and provides access to high-quality, peer-reviewed, open-access journals. Being indexed by this prestigious directory enhances the journal's visibility and credibility, ensuring that scholars, students, and general readers alike can freely access its content without any subscription barriers.

Founded in 1997, the Journal of Religion and Film explores how films engage with religious themes, narratives, and traditions. The journal is hosted on UNO’s institutional repository, DigitalCommons@UNO, which allows for free and open access to anyone with an internet connection. By joining the DOAJ, the journal not only increases its impact in academic circles but also contributes to the growing movement toward open-access publishing in the humanities.

This move reflects the journal’s commitment to fostering academic dialogue and advancing scholarship in the fields of religion and film studies. It also aligns with broader trends in academic publishing that prioritize open access, making research available to a wider and more diverse audience.
