Em 2004, o Portal passa a contar com cerca de 8.500 periódicos em texto completo e 90 bases referenciais, mais do que o dobro de títulos disponíveis no ano anterior. O número de instituições participantes do Portal já chega a 133. Nesse ano, o Professor Jorge Almeida Guimarães assume a Presidência da CAPES.

Ainda em 2004, é desenvolvido um novo layout para a página do Portal de Periódicos, que passa a contar com um espaço para as notícias de interesse da comunidade acadêmica. Essa foi a última reforma realizada na página do Portal antes do lançamento da versão atual.

Em 2005, novos títulos foram assinados pela CAPES. O Portal de Periódicos passou a contar com um acervo de mais de 9.500 revistas científicas internacionais e 105 bases referenciais. Nessa época, houve esforço no desenvolvimento da coleção nas áreas de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas e Ciências Humanas de modo que o Portal de Periódicos atendesse melhor as demandas dos professores e alunos dessas disciplinas.
Outra novidade foi a inclusão de periódicos nacionais classificados pelo programa Qualis da CAPES, nos níveis A e B, com o objetivo de dar maior visibilidade à produção científica nacional. Foram mais de 300 títulos adicionados à coleção do Portal de Periódicos que, somados às revistas indexadas na base de dados Scielo, passou a contar com 516 periódicos publicados no Brasil.
Esse foi também o ano em que o Portal comemorou seu V Aniversário, com uma solenidade realizada no Hotel Nacional, em Brasília. O evento contou com a participação de várias autoridades, como o Ministro da Educação, Fernando Haddad, o Ministro de Ciência Tecnologia, Sérgio Resende, o Ministro da Saúde, Humberto Costa, o Diretor de Programas do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq), Manoel Barral Neto, além de representantes das universidades e das editoras parceiras do Portal de Periódicos.

Nesse mesmo ano, foi realizada a Conferência Internacional sobre Acesso à Informação Científica e Tecnológica promovida pela CAPES, em Brasília, em 1º de dezembro. No evento, houve uma manifestação geral dos participantes sobre a importância do programa e suas contribuições para o desenvolvimento do ensino e da pesquisa científica no Brasil.
