Open Access Journals

Open Access Journals are publications that do not charge readers for access. Open access promotes increased usage and has a higher impact because more people can read them.

A website called the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) makes it their business to collect all open access journals and house access to them on one website.

Browse their journal collection and see what you can find. Search for a journal or article!

It's all free and you don't need a Library Card.
