Open Access Surgery Journals

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

Surgery is medical specialty

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 Surgery Open Access journals with the aim to help you to decide where to publish your Surgery manuscript.
We made this list which includes all the high-impact factor Surgery journals that might be relevant to your field of study.Rather than displaying just the most relevant Surgery journals, we have made an in-depth list of all the open accesss Surgery journals. Use our different columns — number of papers, number of citations, and relevance — to find the best Surgery 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 Surgery journals in this list are indexed in OA.mg.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I publish my Surgery paper?
You can publish your Surgery 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?
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 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.
