How to find journals to publish open access in?
With the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), you can find high quality, full open access, peer-reviewed legal journals to publish in.
You can also publish open access in (hybrid) journals from traditional academic publishers.

You can publish open access without costs in a growing amount of legal journals. Use the Open Access Journal Browser to quickly find out which legal journals are part of the agreements with the UvA.
