Does the publication channel allow open access publishing?

We have gathered some information at the journal’s information page in the Norwegian Register that will help you in identifying journals with open access.

DOAJ

We mark journals that are indexed in Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). DOAJ is an international index for quality assured open access journals, with information about article processing charges etc.

Journals approved on level 1 and level 2 and that are indexed in DOAJ, can yield publication points by publishing in them. At the same time, they fulfil the criteria for the national guidelines about open access.
