Subscribe to Open (S2O) journals
This list is a part of the Open Access Directory.
- This is a list of OA journals using 'Subscribe to Open' (S2O) model. In most cases the journals converted from toll access (TA), but in some cases they were 'born' S2O or converted from a different OA model.
- When possible, include the publisher and date the journal adopted S2O.
- PSM = Physical Sciences and Mathematics, LS = Life Sciences, SSH = Social Sciences and Humanities
- Drawing on data from the Subscribe to Open community website
- Related lists in OAD: Journals that converted from TA to OA.
- For real-time updates, some not yet reflected here, follow the oa.subscribe_to_open tag of the Open Access Tracking Project. (This tag library is crowd-sourced, and you can make it more comprehensive by taking part in OATP.)
