    Some of these funding models include standard funding methods like advertising, public funding,

    and author payment models, where the author pays a fee in order to publish in the journal. There
    are OA journals that have non-peer-reviewed academic content, as well as journals that focus on
    dissertations, theses, and papers from conferences, but the main focus of OA is peer-reviewed
    scholarly journal articles.

    The internet has certainly made it easier to access research articles and other scholarly publications
    without needing access to a university library, and OA takes another step in that direction by
    removing financial barriers to academic content.

    Choosing Wisely

    Features of Legitimate OA Journals

     There are things to look out for when trying to decide if a free publication journal is legitimate:

    1. Mission statement—The mission statement for an OA journal should be available on their


    website.

    2. Publication history—Is the journal well established? How long has it been available?

    3. Editorial board—Who are the members of the editorial board, and what are their
    credentials?

    4. Indexing—Can the journal be found in a reliable database?

    5. Peer review—What is the peer review process? Does the journal allow enough time in the
    process for a reliable assessment of quality?

    6. Impact factor—What is the average number of times the journal is cited over a two-year
    period?
