Please note
For Open Access funding, it is required that the paying “submitting corresponding author” lists the University of Greifswald or Greifswald University Medicine as their primary affiliation.
Be Conscious of Costs
If you have little or no funding available, search for low-cost Open Access journals specifically.
- Use the Diamond Discovery Hub to find scientific journals from Europe that are free of charge for authors and readers.
- For journals for which the University Library has a Transformative Agreement in place, the costs are fully covered, given there is no third-party funding available.
If you do not yet know where to publish:
- Use the oa.finder to search by subject area or keywords to see what kind of funding the University of Greifswald offers for Open Access publishing
- Search the Diamond Discovery Hub by subject area or keywords to find relevant European Diamond Open Access journals
- Use the subject-specific information on relevant Open Access journals on the open.access.network website
- Use the B!SON recommendation service to find the right Open Access journal for your research by using title, abstract, and references
- Search the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) for suitable journals using various filter options
Trusted Journals
Check your journal in the DOAJ, as it is the most extensive directory of scientific Open Access journals.
It includes only high-quality scientific journals with a quality control system (peer review).
If you cannot find what you are looking for in the DOAJ, use the helpful checklist from ThinkCheckSubmit to check the credibility of a journal. You should also seek advice from colleagues or academic supervisors.
Although predatory journals may appear professional, they pressure authors with aggressive advertising and provide little to no quality assurance. You can find more information about predatory journals here.
We are happy to offer support on these topics and help you with any questions you may have.
