Open Access Bacteria Journals

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

Bacteria is domain of prokaryotes

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.

Our team made this list of Bacteria Open Access journals with the aim to help you to decide where to publish your Bacteria manuscript.
Our list includes all the high-impact factor Bacteria journals as well as new journals. This should give you a better idea on where you should publish. Rather than displaying just the most relevant Bacteria journals, we have made an in-depth list of all the open accesss Bacteria journals. Use our different columns — number of papers, number of citations, and relevance — to find the best Bacteria 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 Bacteria journals in this list are indexed in OA.mg.
If you spot any mistakes in this table of Bacteria OA journals, don’t hesitate to send us an email.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I publish my Bacteria paper?
You can publish your Bacteria paper in the Open Access journals in this list
What is Open Access (OA)?
Open access is an international movement that aims to provide free and open online access to academic information, such as publications and data
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 demonstrate how frequently publications from this journal are cited in other papers. We obtain this information via OpenAlex. Although the accuracy is questionable, it might nevertheless aid you in gaining an understanding of how prestigious a publication is overall.
Where can I find other lists like this one?
To search for more open journal lists under different topics, look on OA.mg
How can I publish my paper on OA.mg?
Our focus at OA.mg is to disseminate existing open access research papers. For this reason, we do not offer publishing services.
What is an APC?
An APC is the article processing charge that an author of a given research paper has to pay in order to get it published in a journal. APCs are most commonly used by open access journals or by journals who offer open access publishing.
What are the different Open Access types?
Depending on the license, a research paper might be categorised as a) Gold Open Access, b) Hybrid Open Access, c) Green Open Access, d) Bronze Open Access, e) Diamond Open Access, or f) Black Open Access
