Hi all, My institution urges open access publishing, and is wary of predatory journals. The links below may help when searching for publication venues, as well as clarifying what at least one university thinks is a reasonable set of ethics. The third link is the same as what Bob O'Hara shared.
The journal must: - Be published by a member organization of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association <http://oaspa.org/membership/members/> or adhere to its code of conduct <http://oaspa.org/membership/code-of-conduct/>. - Have a standard article fee schedule publicly posted. - Be listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals <http://www.doaj.org/>. We may make an exception if the journal meets other criteria and the faculty advisory board verifies its credibility. -Jesse On Thu, Sep 7, 2017 at 6:47 AM, Bob OHara <bob.oh...@ntnu.no> wrote: > Hopefully the Directory of Open Access Journals is what you need: > https://doaj.org/. > > Bob > > On 09/07/2017 11:10 AM, Neahga Leonard wrote: > > If anyone has a list of respectable, legitimate, good quality Open Access > Journals that would probably be of great benefit to many in this listserv. > > Many of us are not in the academic world, and our organizations cannot > afford to criminally high cost of access to many journals, yet still need > timely access to high quality publications, both for our own research and > for publication of our findings. > > This is especially true in the conservation world, where more and more > organizations have a policy of using only Open Access Journals in order to > ensure that our information is accessible to others who need it or are > merely interested in it. > > Those of you who use (publish in or read) legitimate Open Access Journals, > please share your favorites with us. > > Neahga Leonard > *Project Director* > Cat Ba Langur Conservation Project > Cat Ba National Park > Cat Hai District > Hai Phong Province, Vietnam > neahga.leon...@catbalangur.de > > > > *There is not just a whole world to explore, there is a whole universe to > explore, perhaps more than one.* > Personal Blog: http://writingfornature.wordpress.com/ > > > On Thu, Sep 7, 2017 at 4:57 AM, David Duffy <ddu...@hawaii.edu> wrote: > >> "To reduce the supply of papers flowing to predatory journals, we need >> to do a better job of educating trainees and faculty members about how to >> assess a journal's integrity.
