Featured Resource: Directory of open access journals

October 17th, 2007 · No Comments

Open Access publishing continues to rise at an astronomical rate as researchers hope to maximize their impact by providing free access to their scholarly articles online. But all this newly available material does little good if you don’t know where to find it. Fortunately the good folks at Lund University in Sweden have created the Directory of Open Access Journals.

The Directory of Open Access Journals is a carefully vetted list of fully open access, peer-reviewed scholarly journals covering all subjects and languages. It currently lists a total of 2,870 journals, with a net growth rate of 1.2 titles per calendar day over the past year. The directory aims to be a “one stop shop for users to Open Access Journals.”

Subjects covered in the Directory include:

  • Agriculture and Food Sciences
  • Arts and Architecture
  • Biology and Life Sciences
  • Business and Economics
  • Chemistry
  • Earth and Environmental Sciences
  • Health Sciences
  • History and Archeology
  • Languages and Literatures
  • Law and Political Science
  • Mathematics and Statistics
  • Philosophy and Religion
  • Physics and Astronomy
  • Science General
  • Social Sciences
  • Technology and Engineering

Definitely a site worth bookmarking!
