There are
more than 25,000 open access (OA) journals published around the world and only
about 4600 journals are indexed by Google Scholar Metrics (h5-index) as of June 2016. To help
researchers and publishers learn more about OA publishing, those indexed OA journals
are ranked by subject. The basic benchmark used in the OA journals rankings is the h5-index. The journal h5-index related citations data are obtained from
Google Scholar. This ranking work was performed by the team of Open Access Library
(OALib).
Currently, you
can view a journals’ ranking by selecting proper research keywords from the A-Z
list on this page: OA Publications’ Ranking. For example: Food Science & Technology. Meanwhile, as for the journals
with broad fields, you can find the ranking on the page of Mega Journals.
Besides browsing
by given research keywords, we will also provide the search function for
specific publications or keywords. This function will be released later.
The Open
Access Journals Ranking will be updated on an annual basis. If you have any
comments or inquiries, please email them to index@oalib.com.
