Open Access Materials science Journals
A list of Open Access Materials science journals for you to publish your manuscript in
Materials science is interdisciplinary field which deals with the discovery and design of new materials; primarily concerned with the physical and chemical properties of solids
A journal article is 'open access' when there are no financial, legal or technical barriers to accessing it - that is to say when anyone can read, download, distribute, print, and search it.
Our team made this list of Materials science Open Access journals with the aim to help you to decide where to publish your Materials science manuscript.
We made this list which includes all the high-impact factor Materials science journals that might be relevant to your field of study.Rather than displaying just the most relevant Materials science journals, we have made an in-depth list of all the open accesss Materials science journals. Use our different columns — number of papers, number of citations, and relevance — to find the best Materials science 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 Materials science journals in this list are indexed in OA.mg.
If you spot any mistakes in this table of Materials science OA journals, don’t hesitate to send us an email.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I publish my Materials science paper?
You can publish your Materials science paper in the Open Access journals in this list
What is Open Access (OA)?
Open Access refers to free access to information and unrestricted use of electronic resources for everyone. Any kind of digital content can be open access, from texts and data to software, audio, and video.
What does “relevance” mean in the table?
It refers to the strength of association between this journal being listed and the concept, from 0-100. For example, the Journal Of Research In Mechanical Engineering has a relevance of “0” when listed under “Open Access Computer Science Journals” because it has no relevance to the field of Computer Science.
How do you count total number of citations?
The citations represent the times that works have cited papers under this journal. In our case, we obtain this data from OpenAlex, an open catalog of scholarly papers. It's hard to say how accurate it is but it can give you a general idea on how prestigious the journal is. The more work that have cited it, the better.
Where can I find other lists like this one?
To search for more open journal lists, look on OA.mg
How can I publish my paper on OA.mg?
That's exactly why we made these lists, so you can find a journal that will publish your paper. We at OA.mg don't offer publishing services.
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.
