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?
scopus indexed journals list kindly provide for me in physical education and sports, if possible paid or free journal anything fine for us kindly send me thank you
You can use our journal finder tool: https://phdtalks.org/journal-finder.php
I am from Ethiopia. I want to publish articles in the indexed Scopus journal of Physical Education and Sport Free. how can I get the guidelines sample articles etc
.kind regards
