You can use the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) to identify quality journals where you can publish OA at no cost. The entry for the journal in the directory will state "no charge." Alternatively, search DOAJ by subject or publisher, and apply the "without article processing charges" filter.  

Below is the bespoke Kent Read and Publish journal search. Journals listed here are included in the Library’s Read and Publish agreements. These journals allow you to publish your articles Open Access without requiring further payment to the publisher. You don't have to apply separately for an APC.

The entries within this Journal search tool were last updated on 12th March 2025. Agreements are renewed annually in January and publishers may alter the titles included during the agreement period.

A few agreements have been cancelled where use has been low. The affected titles have been removed from the journal search.

Please contact the Library Open Research team researchsupport@kent.ac.uk  with any enquiries about journal titles or agreements.
