Become a Partner Journal

For zero-fee journals that want to partner with a verified research community.

If your journal charges authors nothing and shares our commitment to genuine scholarship, we would be glad to hear from you. Partnership is by mutual interest: there is no fee to partner, and no obligation to post calls.

How it works

  1. Read the Journal Standards.
  2. Submit the form below.
  3. If the journal meets the zero-fee standard on first review, we email you to request supporting documents, such as the peer-review policy, editorial board details and, if relevant, proof of the actual DOI cost.
  4. Our team checks the journal manually against every standard.
  5. If approved, the journal is listed with the zero-fee badge and re-checked every year.
