Publishing and depositing your research results in open access and open data
Open access, open data and open notebook science make your research articles and results freely available to everyone on the Internet. They eliminate some traditional access barriers, help your articles reach the most audience and maximize the impact of your articles. Publishing research articles in open access journals and depositing them in an institutional repository or open access archive will greatly benefit the authors.
Most open access chemistry journals’ websites provide information on how to publish with them. The following links provide information on where and how to publish and deposit your chemistry or related articles or data in an open access journal or open data database.
Chemistry Central is an independent publishing platform operated by BioMed Central. All original research articles published by, or in cooperation with, Chemistry Central are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication and are archived without delay in PubMed Central and several other international archives. Chemistry Central also allows authors to immediately deposit the official, final version of their published article in any suitable digital repository.
This directory covers all scientific and scholarly OA journals. In its Find Journals section, all journals can be browsed by title and by subject. It lists 153 Chemistry OA journals under the Chemistry subject tree. It lists 39 Chemistry OA journals without publication fee (with a simple search), which provides very helpful information for authors in chemistry and related fields when they choose where to publish their research results. In its FAQ section, it provides comprehensive and concise information on OA journals and how to publish with OA journals.
· The American Chemistry Society - AuthorChoice. (http://pubs.acs.org/4authors/authorchoice/index.html ) .
This is a fee-based open access licensing option, which provides unrestricted web access to published ACS articles at the time of publication, and permits the posting of copies of final published articles on authors’ personal web site and institutional repositories for non-commercial scholarly purposes. ACS AuthorChoice fees compare very favorably with fees for equivalent services offered by non-ACS journals.
· OpenDOAR (http://www.opendoar.org/ )
The Directory of Open Access Repositories is an authoritative directory of academic open access repositories. Under its chemistry and chemical technology subject section, chemists and researchers can find informatioin of some open access repositories and decide where and how to deposit their research articles or data into an open access repository.
