Thanks so much for providing list of UGC/SCI/Scopus journals for me. But can kindly list out unpaid list of UGC/SCI/Scopus journals in physical and health education for me ? Thanks
Dear, maximum of above listed research journals are unpaid.
Am grateful
Sir! The procedure involved to access the free Scopus journals address/link is very complex. All effort to open and submit an article to any of them since a week failed. What should I do?
