More Open Access journals with/without TOC RSS feeds #4

Here’s the fourth in the series of some Open Access (OA) journals that have been added recently to the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).  I’ve indicated whether the newly added titles have RSS feeds for their Tables of Contents (TOCs).  As I pointed out in this recent post, there are many advantages of having TOC RSS feeds.  The list is taken from the weekly RSS feed of new journals added to the DOAJ.  My previous list is here.  Given all the advantages, I really don’t know why some journals don’t produce TOC RSS feeds!

Geologica Belgica Included in the feed for all Geoscience e-Journals http://www.univ-brest.fr/geosciences/e-journals/geosciences.xml
Nau Literaria : Crítica e Teoria de Literaturas em Língua Portuguesa Boo!  No TOC RSS feed(*  OJS Journal)
Revista de Patologia Tropical Boo!  No TOC RSS feed(*  OJS Journal)
Papers : Explorations into Children’s Literature Boo!  No TOC RSS feed(*  OJS Journal)
Review of Economics and Institutions Boo!  No TOC RSS feed(*  OJS Journal)
Ciência Animal Brasileira Boo!  No TOC RSS feed(*  OJS Journal)
Interculture Journal : online Zeitschrift für interkulturelle Studien Boo!  No TOC RSS feed
Coffee Science Boo!  No TOC RSS feed(*  OJS Journal)
Malaysian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences Boo!  No TOC RSS feed
Wacana Seni Journal of Art Discourse Boo!  No TOC RSS feed
Psicanálise e Barroco em Revista Boo!  No TOC RSS feed

* Even though Open Journal Systems, through which a growing number of OA journals are published, has a plugin giving the option to generate nice RSS 1.0 feeds with prism etc, not all OJS journals produce RSS TOC feeds.  I really don’t understand why!
