====List of some open access journals==== This is a list of some prominant open acess (OA) journals. For some links about what open acess is, see: [[open_access]]. For an humorous and illustrated introduction to the question, see: [[http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=1208|PhD Comics 08/05/2009]] This list is of course not exhaustive, and is mainly based on a [[http://wowter.net/2011/01/06/the-impact-factor-of-open-access-journals/|ranking made in 2009]] of open access journals according to their [[wp>impact factor]] (IF). Because the impact factor is highly discipline-dependent, journals with the highest scores in each of five different categories are listed. All the journals listed here can be accessed via the [[http://www.doaj.org/|DOAJ portal]] (Directory of Open Acces Journals), which also proposes a basic search engine. ===Biology, Medicine, Chemistry, Genetics=== [[http://caonline.amcancersoc.org/|Cancer Journal for Clinicians]]\\ [[http://www.nature.com/msb/|Molecular Systems Biology]]\\ [[http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/|Nucleic Acids Research]]\\ [[http://www.plosbiology.org/|PLoS Biology]]\\ [[http://www.plosgenetics.org/|PLoS Genetics]]\\ [[http://www.plospathogens.org|PLoS Pathogens]]\\ [[http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcbiol/|BMC Biology]]\\ [[http://www.biology-direct.com/|Biology Direct]]\\ [[http://www.molecular-cancer.com/|Molecular Cancer]]\\ [[http://www.neuraldevelopment.com/|Neural Development]]\\ [[http://www.horizonpress.com/cimb/|Current Issues in Molecular Biology]]\\ [[http://www.neoplasia.com/|Neoplasia : An International Journal for Oncology Research]]\\ [[http://dnaresearch.oxfordjournals.org/|DNA Research]]\\ [[http://www.ploscompbiol.org/|PLoS Computational Biology]]\\ [[http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcdevbiol/|BMC Developmental Biology]]\\ [[http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcbioinformatics/|BMC Bioinformatics]]\\ [[http://www.plosone.org/|PLoS ONE]]\\ [[http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcevolbiol/|BMC Evolutionary Biology]]\\ [[http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcgenomics/|BMC Genomics]]\\ [[http://www.plosmedicine.org|PLoS Medicine]]\\ [[http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/|Emerging Infectious Diseases]]\\ ===Botany, Zoology, Ecology, Environment, Agriculture=== [[http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/handle/2246/7|Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History]]\\ [[http://www.plantmethods.com/|Plant Methods]]\\ [[http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcplantbiol/|BMC Plant Biology]]\\ [[http://ehp03.niehs.nih.gov/home.action|Environmental Health Perspectives]]\\ [[http://www.studiesinmycology.org/|Studies in Mycology]]\\ [[http://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/|Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics]]\\ [[http://www.climate-of-the-past.net|Climate of the Past]]\\ [[http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326|Environmental Research Letters]]\\ [[http://www.eko.uj.edu.pl/ap/|Acta Protozoologica]]\\ [[http://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/jrd|Journal of Reproduction and Development]]\\ [[http://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/expanim|Experimental Animals]]\\ [[http://www.hydrol-earth-syst-sci.net/|Hydrology and Earth System Sciences]]\\ [[http://www.aaem.pl/|Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine]]\\ [[http://www.vetsci.org/|Journal of Veterinary Science]]\\ [[http://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/jpestics|Journal of Pesticide Science]]\\ [[http://www.ecologyandsociety.org/|Ecology and Society]]\\ [[http://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/jvms/-char/en|Journal of Veterinary Medical Science]]\\ [[http://www.borenv.net/|Boreal Environment Research]]\\ [[http://fishbull.noaa.gov/|Fishery Bulletin]]\\ ===Technology, Engineering, Computer Science=== [[http://www.opticsinfobase.org/oe/|Optics Express]]\\ [[http://jmlr.csail.mit.edu/|Journal of Machine Learning Research]]\\ [[http://www.goldbulletin.org/|Gold bulletin : a quarterly review of research on gold and its applications in industry]]\\ [[http://www.jmir.org/|Journal of Medical Internet Research]]\\ [[http://iopscience.iop.org/1468-6996/|Science and Technology of Advanced Materials]]\\ [[http://www.s2is.org/|Sensors]]\\ [[http://prst-ab.aps.org/|Physical review special topics.
