Summary

This high-level assessment covers limited portions and functionality of the DOAJ Platform. The assessment revealed issues with assistive technology compatibility, resulting in some users missing information required to understand content, states and operate functions. It is important to keep in mind that the findings represent a high-level assessment, and do not reflect the results of a Deque Comprehensive Web Assessment. Following are top 3 issues from this evaluation.

Top 3 Issues:

  1. Group labels: In search results, many group labels are used for further refinement. These group labels are not properly associated with their relevant checkboxes.
  2. Language: When changes in language exist for some content, assistive tech is not programmatically notified of the change in language.
  3. Contrast: While contrast is generally good across the site, some issues exist on focus and with some focus indicators.
