Taxacom: open access journals

[Andrew Whittington]

Thank you Rudy and Mark - good to know.

As a consultant entomologist, any research I do is self-funded as there are few research grants available for scientists who do not work in an institution. So low- or no-publication costs is a high priority. Knowing that EJT has no publications costs is good to know (I didn't)  and having a list such as Mark has produced is really helpful. Thank you both.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Hi all
I started a list of journals which are free to authors and readers here: https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oceansofbiodiversity.auckland.ac.nz%2F2018%2F08%2F16%2Fjournals-free-to-authors-and-readers%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ctaxacom%40lists.ku.edu%7Cbfff7ec87c8a4b1d7c3408db93fd365b%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C638266487985827624%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=s7Hi5902hg569h3adsKlEmmsN%2FtOKoSwSTAA%2BJh37Xc%3D&reserved=0
Let me know of any I should add or if some are no longer so free.
Best regards
Mark

Indeed and this is surprising!
EJT is the best example of free, high quality journal I know. A beautiful model.
I may add that the editorial process, as I have experienced it, is remarkably efficient (and that I don’t care the least about its IF) J.
