Free Article Publishing Journals

Journals publish research articles to increase the visibility and global reach of researchers’ work. Free article publishing journals are often the first choice for authors seeking publication. Many scholars prefer to publish in recognized journals that follow an online process from paper submission to publication. While some journals offer publication at no cost, others charge a fee. Most journals do not receive external funding for maintenance, which is why they charge publication fees. However, some journals manage their expenses through reader subscriptions instead.

Check Paper Publication Charges

Publishing in free journals is challenging for authors due to several reasons:

• A large number of researchers submit papers for free publication, increasing competition.
• Publishers do not accept low-quality papers, especially those written by beginners.
• Journals often have lengthy review processes, sometimes rejecting papers after months of review.
• Authors must handle all formatting and ensure compliance with journal guidelines.
• Direct communication is not allowed in these journals except through email, and editors are not obligated to respond to every query.

Overall, the publication process is time-consuming and requires significant experience in paper writing and submission. Additionally, some journals reject papers with a brief message stating an overload of submissions, which can be frustrating for authors.

Instead of focusing solely on free journals, young researchers should consider paid journals that offer similar visibility while reducing review time. The chances of publication increase in such journals because the editorial team provides regular updates and assists authors in improving their content to meet reviewer expectations.

Another advantage of paid journals is open access, which ensures wider readership and greater impact. In some colleges and universities, mentors encourage students to publish only in free article publishing journals, but they should instead guide them to choose reputable journals with a strong and genuine reach, regardless of whether they are free or paid.

Authors should also be cautious, as some journals impose hidden charges under the guise of formatting fees, page limits, author count, etc. This is an indirect way of covering maintenance costs, helping publishers sustain their operations.
