List of Open Access Journals
The journals below are diamond (also called platinum) open access, which means that neither the author nor the reader pays any fees. Generally, as a quality assurance measure, the journals listed below are indexed in Wed of Science (previously known as ISI), Scopus, and/or Directory of Open Access Journals. Journals indexed in Web of Science (esp. SSCI for applied linguistics; see below for explanation) are perceived to be of higher status and to have higher standards (i.e., harder to publish in). Web of Science has an additional category called Emerging Sources Citation Index, which lists journals provisionally included in Web of Science with no impact factor yet (possibly easier to publish in).
Legend:
SSCI = Social Sciences Citation Index. Perceived to be the most prestigious. A service by WoS.
ESCI = Emerging Sources Citation Index. This is like "conditionally accepted." A service by WoS.
Scopus = A service by Elsevier. Offers a different set of impact factors (e.g., SJR & CiteScore).
