There are several options for publishing your journal article free of charge (without any publication or article processing fees). Here are some reliable ways to find such journals:
1. DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals)
- Website: https://www.doaj.org
- DOAJ lists open-access journals, many of which do not charge Article Processing Charges (APCs). You can filter by no-fee journals.
2. University and Institutional Journals
- Many universities publish open-access journals that do not charge authors.
- Example: Harvard Dataverse, MIT Press, Oxford Open Journals, Indian Institute of Science (IISc) journals, etc.
3. Government-Funded or Society Journals
- Some research organizations and scientific societies publish journals without APCs.
- Example: PubMed Central (for medical research), Indian Academy of Sciences Journals, etc.
4. ArXiv, SSRN, and Other Preprint Repositories
- arXiv.org (for physics, computer science, mathematics)
- SSRN.com (for social sciences, management, law)
- bioRxiv.org (for biology & medical sciences)
- While not traditional journals, many indexed preprint repositories allow free publication and increase visibility.
5. Non-APC Open Access Journals in Major Publishers
Some Scopus/WoS indexed journals under Springer, Elsevier, Wiley, etc., allow free publication. Look for "Diamond Open Access" journals.
- Example: SciELO, Redalyc, and some journals in Springer Open and Wiley Open Access.
6. Library-Based Journals
- Many university libraries host open-access peer-reviewed journals with no APC.
- Example: UCL Press, Open Library of Humanities, etc.
