What We Do
OpenAccessJournals.com is a comprehensive, searchable directory of peer-reviewed open access scholarly journals. Our database is powered by DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) data and continuously updated to ensure accuracy.
We help researchers find journals that match their field, budget (APC), and quality requirements. We help publishers gain visibility for their journals. And we help readers access the latest scientific research for free.
All journals in our directory are open access — meaning the research is freely available to anyone, anywhere, without subscription barriers.
