Directory of Open Access Journals
DOAJ Open Access Journals List
A community-curated directory of peer-reviewed open-access journals. DOAJ membership is the most widely used signal that a journal is genuinely open access rather than merely free to read, and its absence is one of the first things to check on an unfamiliar title.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a journal is indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Search the journal's name or ISSN above. Each result shows its current Scopus status (Active or Discontinued), Web of Science collections (SCIE/SSCI/AHCI/ESCI), ABDC rating, FT50 and UT Dallas membership, and whether it is listed in DOAJ.
What does an ABDC A* rating mean?
On the ABDC Journal Quality List 2025, A* is the top 5–7% of journals in a field; A, B and C denote progressively broader tiers of recognised quality.
What is a Scopus CiteScore quartile?
CiteScore ranks journals within each subject area. Q1 is the top 25% and Q4 the bottom 25%, based on Scopus CiteScore 2025. A journal can sit in different quartiles across its subject areas.
Is this dashboard free to use?
Yes — searching all 51,000+ journals and viewing every index, quartile and rating is completely free.
How DOAJ overlaps the other indexes
Of the 10,625 DOAJ journals, these also appear elsewhere. A title carried by several indexes is the safer submission; one carried by this list alone is worth a second look. No single official list can show this, because each knows only itself.

Common questions
How many journals are listed in DOAJ?
10,625 journals on this site are listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals.
Is a DOAJ-listed journal automatically high quality?
No. DOAJ verifies open-access practice, licensing and editorial process — not research impact. A DOAJ journal can still be unranked in Scopus or Web of Science, so check the other indexes alongside it.
Does DOAJ listing mean there is no charge to publish?
No. Open access refers to reader access, not author cost. Many DOAJ journals levy an article processing charge; each journal page here shows the cost information we hold, including ONOS coverage for authors in India.
Figures are from our dataset of 10,625 DOAJ journals. Always confirm a journal's current status on the DOAJ ↗ before submitting.
