Free agricultural & biological sciences journals list

Publish free of cost in agricultural & biological sciences research-related journals. There are many non-APC biological sciences and agricultural journals that publish without publication fees. However, researchers are unaware of such unpaid journals.

In this blog post, we are listing such free science journals.

List of Free agriculture & biological sciences journals

Most of these Free agriculture & biological sciences journals publish in hybrid mode. With hybrid open access, the author, institution, or funder pays an Article Publication Charge (APC) for the article to be open access – making it immediately available for the readers.

• The biochemical, physiological, and ecological consequences of contaminants to marine organisms and ecosystems 
• The biogeochemistry of naturally occurring and anthropogenic substances 
• Models that describe and predict the above processes 
• Monitoring studies, to the extent that their results provide new information on functional processes 
• Methodological papers describing improved quantitative techniques for the marine sciences.

9. Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology publishes original scientific articles about the mode of action of plant protection agents such as insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and similar compounds, including nonlethal pest control agents, biosynthesis of pheromones, hormones, and plant resistance agents.

Research Areas Emphasized Include the Biochemistry and Physiology of: 

• Comparative toxicity
