Free open-access journals

Researchers can make their research freely available on the internet by publishing it in open-access journals. This blog post aims to provide a list of free publishing open-access journals indexed in Web of Science (SCI), Scopus, and DOAJ.

All research articles published in Open Access journals are immediately freely available to read, download and share. Most of the available open-access journals are paid to publish. However, there are many free open access journals that publish without any cost.

We visited the official website of Springer, Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, and other major publishers to find non-APC open access journals. We also took the help of DOAJ to identify non-paid publishing open access journals.
