Open J-Gate is inspired and made possible by the Open Access Initiative (OAI) , "a new paradigm in scholarly publishing. It aims to promote models that ensure free and unrestricted access to scholarly and research journals."

Open J-Gate says it "provides seamless access to millions of journal articles available online. Open J-Gate is also a database of journal literature, indexed from 3600+ open access journals, with links to full text at publisher sites." The other source of data for open access journals is Directory of Open Access Journals, (DOAJ).

Some of its features include having the "largest number of e-journals". Open J-Gate says it indexes articles from 3600+ academic, research and industry journals and more than 2000 of them are peer-reviewed scholarly journals.

It offers links "to over a million open access articles" which is a number that "is growing with 350000+ new articles added every year". Full-text links are regularly validated. It also promises constant updating, well-designed journal classification, table-of-content browsing, easy-to-use functionalities (search options by title, author, abstract, author's address or institution, or keywords).

It is run by the Bangalore-based Informatics India Limited, a company that describes itself as "promoting the culture of e-information in India, has been providing scientific and research information from across the globe to the country's scientific community and academia since its inception in 1980." It has attained the status of being a major resource for the open access community.
