OA allows members of the public to access the content without permission and paywall barriers. OA journals make it easier for scientists to share their data with a wide audience. Most research done in public institutions use government research grants.

This is one of the reasons that governments and funding agencies support OAjournals. Types of Open AccessJournals The open access model has evolved into manyvariants. Megajournals: In this model, journals o"er full open access for a relatively low article processing fee and high volume. These megajournals have an objective peer review. They also tend to o"er rapid publication. PLOS One, BMJ Open, and Scientific Reports are examples ofmegajournals. Delayed: These journals involve an initial embargo period. The journal chooses a time duration during which all their articles are behind the paywall. After that period, the articles are freely accessible. Let us say you choose to publish in a delayed open access journal in January 2017. If the journal has a 12-month embargo period, your article will remain behind the paywall until January 2018. As of 2018, your article will become fully open access. Some OA journals also allow self- archiving or green open access. In this model, the published version of the article exists behind the paywall. The journal allows you to deposit a copy of your paper in a public place. This could be your website or your institution’s repository. The version can be pre-print or post-print based on journal copyrightpolicies. Hybrid: These open access journals still o"er a subscription service. They give authors the option to make their articles open access. If you decide to publish your article as open access, you have to pay an article processingfee. Flipped: These subscription-based journals have now changedinto OA. For example, Nucleic Acid Research and NatureCommunications. https://www.enago.com/academy/how-to-find-an-open-access-journal/

SciELO: The Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) is another option. It is a digital library of open access journals. SciELO is used for electronic publishing in developing countries. It was launched in Brazil in 1997. It hosts more than 1,161 OA journals and more than 500,000 open accessarticles. Ulrich’s Knowledgebase: It has information on more than 300,000 periodicals. This list includes OA journals. Ulrich’s can be searched which makes discovery of open access journals easy. The database also includes links to full-text and othercontent.
