Journal Finder lets you search for journals that are part of the national licensing agreements for Open Access publishing without payment of an Article Processing Charge (APC)*. You will also be able to find journals where discounts on APC are offered. You do not need to create a user profile or log in to use Journal Finder. Simply select your institution(s) to get accurate search results.

In Journal Finder, you can also find important information about the individual agreements, including which Creative Commons licenses can be selected, whether the agreement contains a limited quota of articles, and which article types are included.

* APC is a basic publication fee charged to authors when publishing in journals that operate with Open Access.

General guidance before applying

Since not all agreements apply to all institutions, it is important that you first select your institution(s) before making your search.

You can search by journal title, ISSN/eISSN or free text. If you want to look up a specific journal, it is recommended to search by ISSN/eISSN. You can also find many more search tips below the institution selection dropdown in Journal Finder.
