About this list

Publisher names are matched on the publisher field in the DOAJ (which often names the society or university that owns the journal) and in SCImago, so imprints and subsidiaries are grouped together. Always confirm the current fee policy on the journal’s own website before submitting.

Diamond open access (also called Platinum) means the journal is free to read and free to publish in: the DOAJ records it with “APC: no” and “other fees: no”. Quartiles come from the latest SCImago edition: Q1 is the top 25% of journals in a subject category, Q4 the bottom 25%; the lists show a journal’s best quartile. Read more in our open access guide.
