The Free Journal Network is an index of open access scholarly journals, specifically for those that do not charge article processing charges. [1]
Criteria
The network founded in early 2018 in order to promote free, open access journals, [2] [3] a publishing model that is sometimes called diamond or platinum open access. [4] Such journals are typically smaller than equivalent commercial journals (often supported by academic societies). [5] Main criteria include: adherence to the Fair Open Access Principles that are publicly supported by many renowned scientists, publication of article titles and abstracts in English, clear publication ethics and quality assurance policies.
