Yesterday's post discussed self-archiving as a strategy for providing Open Access to research articles published in traditional journals. Another option for authors who wish to provide Open Access to their work is to publish in an Open Access journal. The best place to start looking for journal titles in a relevant discipline is the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). This resource allows you to search both for journals themselves - e.g., search on keywords like "human rights," "migration" or "conflict" - and for articles within journals (see, e.g., results with "refugees" in the title).Some other examples of OA journals are listed below; all of these titles were identified via this blog, meaning they have all included forced migration-related articles at some point.
- Amsterdam Law Forum
- Bulletin of the World Health Organization
- Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health
- Conflict and Health
- European Journal of Psychotraumatology
- Forum: Qualitative Social Research
- Goettingen Journal of International Law
- Health and Human Rights: An International Journal
- International Journal of Child, Youth & Family Studies
- International Journal of Communication
- International Journal of Mental Health Systems
- Journal of Current Southeast Asian Affairs
- Journal of Southeast Asian American Education & Advancement
- Malaria Journal
- Melbourne University Law Review
- Merkourios: Utrecht Journal of International and European Law
- Public Space: The Journal of Law and Social Justice
- Swiss Medical Weekly
In addition, two leading Open Access publishers in the life and health sciences are BioMed Central (BMC) and the Public Library of Science (PLoS). Their journals also include fairly regular coverage of forced migration issues.
