Open Access Computer security Journals

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

Computer security is the protection of computer systems and networks from theft, damage, misuse or data leak

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.

We hope this list of Computer security OA journals will be helpful for you in deciding where to publish your Computer security manuscript.
Our list includes all the high-impact factor Computer security journals as well as new journals. This should give you a better idea on where you should publish. Rather than just the top hits Computer security journals, we have made an exhaustive list of open accesss Computer security journals. Use our different columns — number of papers, number of citations, and relevance — to find the best Computer security 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 Computer security journals in this list are indexed in OA.mg.
If you spot any mistakes in this table of Computer security OA journals, don’t hesitate to send us an email.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I publish my Computer security paper?

You can publish your Computer security paper in the Open Access journals in this list

What is Open Access (OA)?

Open Access is the free online access of research articles coupled with the rights to use and distribute these articles fully in the digital environment.

What does “relevance” mean in the table?

If a journal has a relevance of “100”, that means that the journal is fully related to the concept it is listed under. If, on the other hand, a journal has a relevance of “0”, that means that the journal doesn’t have any relation to the topic it is listed under. So Nutrition might have a low relevance when included in Open Computer Science Journals

How do you count total number of citations?

The citations show how often works from this journal are referenced in other research papers. This data is obtained from OpenAlex. Even though the accuracy is debatable, it could help you determine how prestigious a journal is on the whole.

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?

At the moment, we do not offer publishing services, that's why we made these lists, so you can find the right journal to publish your paper in. Our goal with OA.mg is to help disseminate research.

What is an APC?

Article Processing Charges (APCs) are charged to authors of scholarly articles during the publication process. APCs are used by open access journals.

What are the different Open Access types?

The most common types are “Green Open Access”, “Gold Open Access” and “Hybrid Open Access”.
