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.[6]
