Open Access Acoustics Journals

A list of Open Access Acoustics journals for you to publish your manuscript in

Acoustics is science that deals with the study of all mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids including vibration, sound, ultrasound and infrasound

Open Access journals publish research articles that are free to to view and download. The main difference between articles in open access journals and those in closed journals is the business model. Both types of articles have to undergo the same peer review process.

This list of Acoustics Open Access journals will hopefully make it easier for you to decide where to publish your Acoustics manuscript.
Our list includes all the high-impact factor Acoustics journals as well as new journals. This should give you a better idea on where you should publish. In many cases, you only see lists of Acoustics journals, nonetheless, in our case we have made the list with open access Acoustics journals in mind.Use our different columns — number of papers, number of citations, and relevance — to find the best Acoustics venue for your manuscript.

The DOAJ columns refers to the The Directory of Open Access Journals, a list of open access journals, maintained by Infrastructure Services for Open Access.
There are certain criteria a journal must meet to be indexed by DOAJ, and thus inclusion in the DOAJ index is seen by scholars as a mark of quality.


All the open access Acoustics journals in this list are indexed in OA.mg.
If you spot any mistakes in this table of Acoustics OA journals, don’t hesitate to send us an email.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I publish my Acoustics paper?
You can publish your Acoustics paper in the Open Access journals in this list
What is Open Access (OA)?
Open access (OA) is a set of principles and practices through which research is freely distributed online
What does “relevance” mean in the table?
Relevance is used to quantify the level of association between a journal and the concept it is listed under, from 0-100. For example, “Brain Stimulation” has a relevance of “24” when listed under “Open Access Computer Science Journals” because it is somewhat related to the field of Computer Science.
How do you count total number of citations?
The citations show how often articles from a journal have been referenced in other works. We get this data from OpenAlex.
Where can I find other lists like this one?
If you are looking for an author or journal article, you can type it in the name, title, or DOI in the search box above to see more results. If you want to see a similar list to this one, take a look on OA.mg
How can I publish my paper on OA.mg?
We do not offer publishing services. If you'd like to get your paper published, I would suggest you find a journal that suits your needs.
What is an APC?
The Article Processing Charge (APC) is the fee that publishers of some open access journals charge in order to publish articles.
What are the different Open Access types?
Different open access types are commonly described using a colour system. The most commonly recognised names are “green”, “gold”, and “hybrid” open access; however, “bronze”, “black”, and “diamond” also exist.
