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.
