Asked 7th Apr, 2016
How to find free-to-publish journals ?
we are preparing to submit a manuscript in field of plant science. However looking at our current budget we realize we won't be able to afford the common $2000 processing fees charged by most open access journals (all our targeting journals :<). I wonder if there are ways like special searching service that can find suitable free-to-publish journals, either open access or "society" journals?
or can anyone recommend some free-to-publish journals in the field of plant science/biology of IF around 3-6?
On the other hand, is there any other possible solution to publish a manuscript with relatively low cost but without compromising the quality of journal too much?
EDIT: thanks for some great insight. the manuscript is focused on plant agrobacterium transient expression systems and plant parthenogenesis-related proteins and responses. some of the key aspects will be plant biotechnology and plant-pathogen interactions. We originally targeted plant biotech J and frontier in plant science and etc., but all charged pretty steep. . If any one can recommend a Free-To-Publish journal with relevant scope, will be greatly appreciated!

I think the simplest way is to check The Directory of Open Access Journals. In here you can browse the journals by discipline https://doaj.org/subjects, maybe you will find the appropriate journal. Good luck.

Elsevier Journal finder ( https://journalfinder.elsevier.com/) can greatly help to find the right Elsevier Journal in respective field of the manuscript, with information about the impact factor and fees. Elsevier journals used to charge APC when open-access is selected by authors while there are no charges for subscription articles (i.e. the article will only be available to those who will paid and there is an embargo period for the authors to not share the article on platform like researchgate and co. from 6 months to a year).

Hi, Tommy Zhou Most open-access journals are costly (to pay by authors like you), so if you want a free-fee journal, mostly it will not be open access.
To the best of my knowledge, the following journals are free and open access and included in your study area:
- Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering
- Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences

I have been through this excercise due to lack of funding for submitting my paper. I tried many journal finders. The best journal finders were of elsevier,wiley and springer. Though this still misses a lot of journals and hence i decided to compile a comprehensive list of such journals.
i started with the InCites journal citation report for an authentic list of journals and their performances and mined the web for their 'publishing' information. After which i compiled a list which mentions which journal is subscription based (free with an embargo or lockin period) and which is paid open access.
You can request the file on the link I shared above. This resource will be of great help for people lacking sufficient funding. Thanks!

Getting free journals are dependent on your location. For scientists from low and low-medium income country, most journals in Springer and Elsevier are free of charge

These types of questions are increasingly appearing. Probably many scientists and researchers are looking for magazines in which you can quickly publish the results of research. Not all such magazines are widely recognized as reputable, not all are characterized by high recognition in specific science disciplines, not all such magazines publish their scientific papers for free on various online platforms and scientific knowledge bases and do not charge any other fees. The formula of open access to knowledge should enable this. However, only some scientific journals meet these issues.
Below are examples of such magazines. You can publish for free in these magazines. Articles published in these journals are entered in many indexing databases of scientific journals. These magazines are published electronically in PDF and also in printed version.
Below are the websites of three scientific journals that meet these criteria:
- "International Journal of Innovation in Social Sciences and Engineering" (ISSN 2543-7089):
Social sciences, various humanities and exact sciences, also taking into account social, sociological, economic and other aspects:
- "International Journal of Legal Studies" (ISSN 2543-7097):
Legal sciences, normative aspects of various issues, various issues described in normative terms:
- "International Journal of Innovation in Social Sciences and Engineering" (ISSN 2543-7089):
Humanities and exact sciences, various fields of science, various types of issues including new technologies, various fields of innovation applications, determinants of innovation development, etc.

Scientists Support Ukraine
Like so many, I am shocked and saddened at seeing war break out in Europe. My thoughts – and those of the ResearchGate team – are with the people of Ukraine and everyone affected.
ResearchGate is an international company, whose purpose is to enable scientists across the world to work together openly and collaboratively, regardless of borders or nationality. We have people from over 40 countries on our staff of around 200, and being based in Berlin, we are profoundly aware of the human cost of conflicts, the echoes of which have shaped and scarred our home city. We join with the international community in condemning the actions of the Russian state.
We have been asking ourselves: What can we do?
From today, we will offer free advertising space worth $2.5 million on our network to humanitarian organizations working to respond to the crisis. ResearchGate benefits from over 50 million visitors every month, and we hope this initiative can help raise funds and awareness for those organizations that are having direct impact and need support.
We also want to use our platform to highlight the response from the scientific community. Personally, I have found the messages of support from scientists everywhere to be truly heartfelt, and I would like to highlight some of the community initiatives I’ve seen here:
- Science for Ukraine provides an overview of labs offering a place for researchers and students who are affected to work from, as well as offers of employment, funding, and accommodation: https://scienceforukraine.eu/
- Labs supporting Ukrainian Scientists is an expansive list of labs and PIs offering support at this time. Submissions go here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeRGe5Da_b6GGyC6VT7CLGViGs06SzeuX7wRKpC4K5tnvlhgg/viewform Find the full list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HqTKukfJGpmowQnSh4CoFn3T6HXcNS1T1pK-Xx9CknQ/edit#gid=320641758
- This open letter from European scientists expressing solidarity and promoting peace is open for signatures: https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/an-open-letter-from-european-scientists-against
Additionally, I’m posting here some of the organizations responding to the crisis and actively soliciting donations:
- Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF): https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/what-we-do/countries/ukraine
- The UN Refugee Agency: https://donate.unhcr.org/int/en/ukraine-emergency
- UNICEF: https://www.unicef.org/emergencies/conflict-ukraine-pose-immediate-threat-children
To help gather more support for these initiatives, please consider sharing this post further (you don’t need a ResearchGate account to see it), and I will continue to update it with other initiatives as I find them. You can also click “Recommend” below to help others in your ResearchGate network see it. And if you know of any other community initiatives that we can share here please let us know via this form: https://forms.gle/e37EHouWXFLyhYE8A

What definition would you give to "human misery"?
If we consider the total loss of our ethical and moral principles, this means that "human misery" "knocks on our door" ... "Misery" comes from the failure to fulfill our main duties towards others, and it is precisely there where it has its origin the entrance through the door of all "vices" .
Oh human misery, how many things you submit to for money! [Leonardo Da Vinci]
