Open Access Remote sensing Journals

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

Remote sensing is acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object, especially the Earth

Open access (OA) is a key part of making research shareable and reproducable. All journal articles published open access undergoe the same rigorous peer review process.

Our team made this list of Remote sensing Open Access journals with the aim to help you to decide where to publish your Remote sensing manuscript.
The list below includes all high-impact factor Remote sensing journals as well as new up and comming journals where it might also be more affordable to publish.Rather than displaying just the most relevant Remote sensing journals, we have made an in-depth list of all the open accesss Remote sensing journals. Use our different columns — number of papers, number of citations, and relevance — to find the best Remote sensing 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 Remote sensing journals in this list are indexed in OA.mg.
If you spot any mistakes in this table of Remote sensing OA journals, don’t hesitate to send us an email.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I publish my Remote sensing paper?
You can publish your Remote sensing 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 show how often articles from this journal have been referenced in other works. OpenAlex is where we get this data from. Although the accuracy is debatable, it can nevertheless help you get a sense of how prestigious a journal is in general.
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 aim at OA.mg is to disseminate existing open access research papers. For this reason, we do not publish any papers. What we do is that once a paper has been published, we index it in OA.mg so that more people can find and access a journal article.
What is an APC?
Authors usually have to pay a one-time Article Processing Charge (APC) to cover the costs of peer review, publishing, and dissemination of published papers in a given journal.
What are the different Open Access types?
The most common types are “Green Open Access”, “Gold Open Access” and “Hybrid Open Access”.
