Open Access Journals

The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) covers nearly 5500 open access scholarly journals that range in subject coverage spanning the sciences, humanities and social sciences. All journals are peer-reviewed or have high editorial quality and meet principles of transparency and best practice in scholarly publishing. Content includes scientific and scholarly periodicals that publish research or review papers in full text. To be included in the DOAJ, an open access journal must use a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access and allow researchers to "read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles.
