Theo
truyền thống, các sinh
viên đại
học đã bỏ
ra nhiều đêm dài trong các thư
viện các khu trường lật giở qua các tập bìa da
của các tạp chí học thuật và báo cáo nghiên cứu. Tầm
quan trọng của các xuất bản phẩm đó đã vẫn còn
nguyên vẹn trong nhiều năm qua, nhưng hầu hết các sinh
viên am hiểu công nghệ ngày nay đều chọn truy cập thông
tin này bằng việc sử dụng các cơ sở dữ liệu trên
trực tuyến.
Các
trang đó thường nằm trong 2 chủng loại. Một số cơ sở
dữ liệu đòi hỏi đăng ký phải trả tiền để truy cập
các tư liệu. Trong nhiều trường hợp, các sinh
viên dự tuyển
vào các cơ
sở bằng gạch - vữa được trao quyền truy cập bổ
sung tới các trang đó khi được tuyển mộ. Các trang
khác, được biết tới như là các cơ sở dữ liệu “truy
cập mở”, cho phép những người sử dụng ngâm mình vào
trong các hạng mục của tạp chí một cách miễn phí. Các
trang đó là lý tưởng cho các sinh
viên trên
trực tuyến, những người nếu khác có lẽ sẽ
phải tự trả các hóa đơn thuê bao.
Hướng
dẫn này xem xét vài website tạp chí truy cập mở có uy
tín nhất, cũng như các cơ sở dữ liệu thuê bao phải
trả tiền vẫn còn được các sinh
viên đại
học truyền thống sử dụng một cách rộng rãi.

Các
tạp chí dựa vào thuê bao
2
trang tạp chi sau đây yêu cầu thuê bao phải trả tiền để
truy cập tới các hạng mục được lưu trữ trong các cơ
sở dữ liệu trên trực tuyến của chúng. Trong khi không
trang nào sẽ là lựa chọn đặc biệt phù hợp cho các
sinh viên trên
trực tuyến và các cá nhân khác về ngân sách, nên
được lưu ý là từng trang trong số chúng có thư viện
khổng lồ các tài nguyên có giá trị - và đối với
nhiều bài báo, các tóm tắt chi tiết (điều có thể được
suwr5 dụng trong các trích dẫn) là sẵn sàng không mất
tiền.
1.
JSTOR:
Viết tắt của Lưu trữ Tạp chí (Journal Storage), JSTOR đã
phát triển và trở thành một trong những cơ sở dữ liệu
tạp chí dựa vào thuê bao nổi tiếng nhất. Cơ sở dữ
liệu này trao cho những người sử dụng khả năng tiến
hành các tìm kiếm toàn văn của hơn 2.000 tạp chí, và
trang này hiện được khoảng 8.000 cơ sở ở 160 quốc gia
khác nhau sử dụng. Truy cập đầy đủ tới thư viện
trên trực tuyến của JSTOR đòi hỏi phải trả tiền thuê
bao hoặc thanh toán một lần (hầu hết chi phí các bài
báo riêng rẽ nằm trong khoảng 10 USD và 50 USD), nhưng
trong 2 năm vừa qua, trang đã làm cho tất cả các bài báo
trong phạm vi công cộng là
sẵn sàng không mất tiền cho những người sử dụng web.
Dù chỉ 6% các nội dung của JSTOR được phân loại như
là ‘phạm vi công cộng’,
điều này vẫn tạo thành hàng trăm ngàn mục từ từ hơn
200 tạp chí khắp trên thế giới.
Đối
với một cơ sở dữ liệu mở rộng như vậy, chức năng
tìm kiếm của JSTOR là khá trực tiếp. Các tìm kiếm cơ
bản có được các kết quả dựa vào các từ khóa, trong
khi các lựa chọn cao cấp cho phép những người sử dụng
lọc các hạng mục theo ngày tháng, ngôn ngữ, nhà xuất
bản, Số Sách Tiêu chuẩn Quốc tế - ISBN (International
Standard Book Number), định dạng (bài báo, sách, sách mỏng,
hoặc bản rà soát lại), và hơn 60 chủ đề học thuật.
Ngoài ra, MyJSTOR lưu trữ các tìm kiếm trong quá khứ và
cho phép những người sử dụng lưu lại và chia sẻ các
trích dẫn.
2.
Project MUSE:
Trang này có khoảng 550 tạp chí học thuật và 20.000 sách
điện tử đã được xuất bản khắp trên thế giới.
Project MUSE cung cấp truy cập thuê bao tới các thư viện,
điều tới lượt nó cho phép các khách hàng có thẻ truy
cập miễn phí các tư liệu của trang (miễn là họ sử
dụng các máy tính trong mạng các thư viện để làm thế).
Ngoài ra, bộ sưu tập các
tạp chí truy cập mở
của trang này đang
tiếp tục phát triển.
Giống
như JSTOR, các lựa chọn tìm kiếm trên trang Project MUSE
khá là tối giản nhưng dù vậy vẫn hiệu quả. Các tạp
chí và sách đều được liệt kê theo vần abc trên từng
trang, nhưng các tìm kiếm theo từ khóa lọc các kết quả
dựa vào tiêu đề, tác giả, hoặc nhà xuất bản thì bao
trùm toàn bộ trang. Đối với những người sử dụng nào
đang không truy cập miễn phí Project MUSE ở thư viện địa
phương của họ, một lựa chọn tìm kiếm khác cho phép
họ hoàn toàn lọc ra các tạp chí và các bài báo truy cập
mở.
Trong
kỷ nguyên số, các sinh
viên có nhiều lựa chọn khi nói về việc duyệt
các xuất bản phẩm học thuật. Các sinh
viên dạng gạch
- và - vữa được trao truy
cập tự do không mất tiền tới các trang như JSTOR
và Project MUSE là viện lý là được ưu tiên nhất, nhưng
sự xuất hiện của các cơ sở dữ liệu truy cập mở
đảm bảo rằng tất cả các sinh
viên đều có
khả năng sử dụng các tạp chí và các bài
báo để hỗ
trợ cho việc học tập của
họ.
Traditionally,
college students have spent long nights in campus libraries thumbing
through leather bound volumes of academic journals and research
reports. The importance of these publications has remained intact
over the years, but most of today's tech-savvy students opt to access
this information using online databases.
These
sites generally fall into two categories. Some databases require a
paid subscription in order to access materials. In many cases,
students who enroll at brick-and-mortar institutions are granted
complimentary access to these sites while enrolled. Other sites,
known as “open-access” databases, allow users to delve into
journal entries free-of-charge. These sites are ideal for online
students who would otherwise be required to foot the subscription
bill themselves.
This
guide looks at some of the most reputable open-access journal
websites, as well as paid subscription databases that are still
widely used by traditional college students.
The Core Open Access Journals
While
they may not carry the same amount of recognition as their more
expensive counterparts, the following open-access databases provide a
comparable selection of journals that are highly useful to students
across disciplines.
1.
Directory of Open Access
Journals (DOAJ):
Originally established and maintained by Lund University in Sweden,
the DOAJ features more than 8,500 open access journals, many of which
are sourced from government, commercial, non-profit, and for-profit
sources. Following the landmark Budapest Open Access Initiative of
2001 (which established standards for free journal access using
online platforms), DOAJ received its initial funding from the Open
Access Institute; it has since adopted a business model that relies
heavily on donor contributions. An average of four journal entries
are added to the database each day.
One
major advantage of DOAJ is the site's extensive search engine. A
basic search allows users to separate journals from individual
articles, while advanced options allow users to sort entries by
title, author, keywords, abstract, International Standard Serial
Number (ISSN), and other more specific criteria. DOAJ is also touted
for its clean interface, detailed FAQ page, and other features
designed to provide a positive user experience.
2.
Oxford
Open: Oxford
University is one of the many brick-and-mortar institutions currently
making an effort to provide open access to scholarly publications
authored by both current students and alumni. While the school has
also stated that the significant cost of publishing makes it all but
impossible to provide open access to all journals and articles,
Oxford Open's database is comprised of archived content from more
than 300 publications.
The
majority of these journals are fully open access, and the site also
provides an array of optional open access entries (articles with
publication costs paid by the author) that users may also access
free-of-charge. Journals that charge a fee will typically grant free
access to journal abstracts, allowing students to make informed
purchases. Oxford Open's aggregation system is somewhat basic, but
also user-friendly. All journals are listed alphabetically
(regardless of their access status), and students may use seven
filters (economics, humanities, law, life sciences, mathematical and
physical sciences, medicine, and social sciences) to yield more
subject-specific results.
3.
Wiley
Open Access:
Articles that appear in the 30 journals hosted by Wiley Open Access
database go through a stringent peer review and editorial process,
ensuring the quality and longevity of the content.
These
journals are concentrated in biology, chemistry, physics, health, and
medicine. While the content of these publications is completely free
for readers, authors who wish to publish their own work in these
journals and provide open access to the public must pay
a nominal fee (roughly $3,000) that is used to cover the costs of
publication.
The
site's aggregator allows users to search for topics across all 30
publications, limit their findings to one specific journal, or browse
results from other publications in the Wiley network. Wiley Online
Library consists of more than 4 million journal articles and books
that cover every conceivable academic topic; while the library is not
exclusively open-access, much of the work found in the database is
free to read.
4.
OMICS
Group: More
than 300 open-access scientific journals are housed in this database,
with a readership of roughly 3 million users. Much like Wiley Open
Access, the entries made available by OMICS Group must undergo a
rigorous peer-review process prior to their publication. Another
similarity is the funding model, which relies on payment from authors
who wish to publish their work and make it openly accessible to
readers. However, the OMICS group structures its prices to
accommodate writers across the globe; contributors from “low income
countries” pay $900-$1,800 per article; individuals from “middle
income countries” pay $1,300-$2,600 per submission; and authors
from “high income countries” pay $1,800-$3,600.
Site
visitors can browse journals alphabetically, or narrow their search
using nine subject filters. While the majority of these journals
focus on life and medical sciences, dozens of others are concentrated
in fields like pharmacology, environmental science, management, and
engineering. Additionally, the organization sponsors more than 100
international conferences on an annual basis; these gatherings allow
students to meet leaders in the scientific and academic communities,
as well as faculty members and fellow students.
5.
AGRIS:
While this site might not be useful for every student, it is an
invaluable resource for those majoring in fields like resource
management, public health, economics, forestry, and crop management.
AGRIS is administered by the Food and Agriculture Organization, a
branch of the United Nations committed to fighting world hunger. The
site contains millions of published articles, as well as an extensive
collection of ‘grey' (or unpublished) literature from more than 100
different countries.
In
response to widespread criticism of the site's aggregating
capabilities, AGRIS today allows users to perform highly customized
searches. Basic keyword searches may be filtered by submission date
or relevance, while advanced options sort findings by the country of
origin, language, author, journal, and more than a dozen other
qualifiers. Additionally, authors who register with the site can
submit their own work using the AGRIMetaMaker tool.
Open Access Journals by Subject
The
following list includes some of the most renowned, open-access
journals for five specific academic fields: business, computer
science, education, engineering, and psychology. However, their value
is certainly not limited to students earning those specific degrees;
each site features an archive of cross-disciplinary articles,
research reports, literature reviews, and case studies ― all of
which are free-of-charge for readers.
Business
Accounting
and Finance Research (AFR):
This peer-reviewed journal (administered by Sciedu Press) features
theoretical articles that cover various topics relating to the fields
of accounting and corporate finance. The most recent issue (Fall
2013) addressed the efficacy of charitable donations and analyzed the
role of foreign banks in the Chinese economy. Authors who contribute
to AFR must pay a $300 processing fee.
American
Journal of Economics and Business Administration:
This quarterly journal has been part of the Science Publications
(SCIPUB) canon since 2009. Articles from the most recent issue
include ‘Retail Bankruptcy Prediction,' ‘Achieving Business
Sustainability Via I-Top Model,' and ‘Single-Digit Inflation
Targeting and Economic Growth.' Contributing authors who are not
registered with SCIPUB (the organization that oversees this journal,
along with more than two dozen other publications) must pay $75 per
page for the first eight pages of their submission, while SCIPUB
members pay $40 per page for the same amount; after the eight-page
benchmark has been reached, all authors must pay $100 for each
subsequent page.
International
Journal of Marketing Studies:
Sponsored by the Canadian Center of Science and Education, this
journal features hundreds of archived articles published between 2009
and 2012; IJSM initially appeared bi-annually, but is today published
on a bi-monthly basis. The journal's central focus is marketing
management and strategy, but each volume contains a wide array of
specialized analyses; the most recent issue explored sustainable
business practices of Turkey, compared U.S. advertising students to
their Korean counterparts, and examined the quality of air cargo
services in the United Arab Emirates. Contributing authors must pay a
fee of $300 for each article submission.
Journal
of Entrepreneurship & Organization Management:
This journal is still in its infancy; the inaugural issue first
appeared in December 2012, and the site currently hosts five
articles. However, the site features five additional “articles in
press”; furthermore, nine forthcoming special issues will tackle
topics like ‘Social Entrepreneurship,' ‘Corporate Governance and
Business Ethics,' and ‘Multinational Business Policy.' Contributing
authors who wish to submit to either the standard publication or a
special issue must pay a $700 for each draft.
Modern
Economy (ME):
Debuting as a quarterly journal in 2010, ME is currently published
monthly; in addition, two special issues that tackled the recession
and marketing management, respectively, appeared earlier this year.
The journal covers a wide range of topics related to international
economics, from agent-based models and exchange rates to sustainable
development and trade patterns. Authors who wish to submit their work
must pay $600 for the first 10 pages of their draft, with an
additional $50 charge for each subsequent page.
Computer Science
Computational
Intelligence in Neuroscience:
This “forum for the interdisciplinary field of neural computing,
neural engineering and artificial intelligence” features work from
scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and other technology experts
around the world. The journal's archive features nearly 200
individual articles dating back to 2007. Unlike most peer-reviewed
journals, the CIN does not charge authors any fees to publish their
work.
Computer
Science and Information Systems (ComSIS):
This journal (with an archive dating back to 2004) features both
theoretical analyses of computational foundations and articles that
explore the economic and educational aspects of the modern tech
industry. The most recent issue (June 2013) features a handful of
papers covering various topics, as well as two special sections
devoted to intelligent information processing and IT in medicine and
rehabilitation. There is no limit to the number of articles one
author may contribute, but submissions may not exceed 20 pages.
International
Journal of Information Security Science (IJISS):
“Security science, engineering, and technology” is the central
focus of this journal that has been published quarterly since March
2012. The current archive features six issues; recent entries have
discussed security concerns linked to cryptographic schemes,
standards of information security risks, and ways to optimize
intrusion detection systems. Each submission is reviewed by at least
two editors, and the revision process may last up to two months.
Journal
of Artificial Intelligence Research:
Considered one of the first exclusively electronic journals, JAIR
first appeared in 1993. The site's archive contains hundreds of
articles (housed in 47 volumes) that explore various trends,
theories, and innovations related to the global AI industry. Each
submission must undergo a blind peer-review process that may last up
to three months; however, contributing authors are not required to
pay a fee.
Journal
of Information Security (JIS):
Published since 2010, the JIS examines the development, evaluation,
and implementation of various online security models used to protect
sensitive information and data. The most recent issue discussed
security concerns related to mobile devices and identity
authentication tools, as well as ‘2D Conjugate Maps of DNA
Sequences.' Authors must pay $500 for the first 10 pages of each
draft, and $50 for each additional page. Discounts of 50% or 100%
will be applied to contributors from certain ‘developing' nations.
Education
American
Educator: One
of the most extensive journals currently available to web users,
American Educator's archive contains more than 70 quarterly
publications dating back to 1977. While the journal has historically
covered a diverse range of topics, most articles are devoted to three
central themes: technology and innovation in the classroom,
evaluative methods used by educators, and student outcome trends and
strategies. Contributing authors pay a fee that reflects the length
of their submission; the minimum cost is $300 per draft.
Current
Issues in Education:
Three types of articles are published in this journal: research
studies, literature reviews, and outcome-oriented analyses. The bulk
of archived articles take an ethnographic approach by exploring the
relationship between educational trends, strategies, policies and
gender, race, and socioeconomic factors. Submissions are limited to
40 pages, and the blind peer-review process may last up to 10 months.
But authors are not required to pay any sort of processing fee for
their work to appear in the journal.
Early
Childhood Research & Practice (ECRP):
First established in 1999, the ECRP is today considered one of the
Internet's leading multilingual, education-based journals. Articles
explore various strategies for teaching elementary school learners,
as well as studies related to students belonging to specific
demographics (such as special needs learners or low-income families).
Authors may submit drafts in either English or Spanish; the journal's
blind peer-review process of a given article may take up to one year.
International
Journal of Special Education (IJSE):
Published exclusively online since 2002, the IJSE publishes three
issues per calendar year. Articles cover both experimental and
theoretical approaches to special education found across the globe,
as well as trends associated with various demographics; the most
recent issue explored ADHD statistics among Native American students,
analyzed concerns faced by Korean-American families with deaf
children, and evaluated the efficacy of sex education in Saudi
Arabia. The site does not charge a processing fee for contributors,
but authors are asked to submit anonymous manuscripts.
Journal
of Learning Development in Higher Education (JLDHE):
Administered by the Association for Learning Development in Higher
Education (ALDinHE), this journal seeks to examine the relationship
between college curricula and student outcomes. One volume per year
has been published since 2009; in addition, special issues have
focused on writing skills in STEM-related courses and the practice of
learning development planning. Authors are invited to submit four
types of articles: research papers, case studies, editorial pieces,
and literature reviews. There is currently no processing fee for
contributing writers.
Engineering
Advances
in Chemical Engineering and Science (ACES):
This journal features articles that address molecular assembly,
nanotechnology, and other concerns related to the development,
production, and evaluation of various chemicals. The archive contains
quarterly volumes dating back to 2011, as well as special issues
devoted to supramolecular chemistry, advances in environmental
chemistry, and carbon chemicals. Contributors are required to pay a
$600 fee for the first 10 pages of their submission, and $50 for each
additional page; contributors who live outside the developed world
may receive a discount of 50% or 100% on their submission fee.
Circuits
and Systems:
Established in 2010, this journal focuses on two of the most
fundamental aspects of modern technology as they relate to
computer-aided design (CAD), nanoelectronics, telemedicine, and other
disciplines; short reports and literature reviews are also published.
Authors who wish to submit articles to the site must pay $600 for the
first 10 pages of their draft, and $50 for each additional page; a
discount of 50% or 100% will be awarded to contributors from most
‘developing' countries.
Journal
of Bioengineering & Biomedical Science:
This journal specializes in reports and reviews that discuss disease
pathology, medical treatments, and health management. The archive
contains quarterly issues dating back to 2011, as well as special
volumes that focus on topics like regenerative medicine and emerging
technologies in the fields of bioengineering and rehabilitative
therapy. Authors who wish to submit a report or review must pay a fee
of $1,500.
The
Open Electrical & Electronic Engineering Journal:
The articles, reviews, and editorials published in this journal cover
a wide swath of topics associated with electrical and electronic
engineering. Recent issues have explored x-ray detection, cooperative
communication systems, network coupling, and duty cycle division
multiplexing; in addition, a special issue released in 2013 was
devoted to trends in signal processing and electronics engineering.
Authors are invited to submit letters, research articles, and product
or literature reviews; the processing fee varies from $450 to $900
per draft (depending on the type of work submitted). Several e-books
are also available for purchase on the site.
The
Open Journal of Mechanical Engineering:
Published since 2007, this journal explores various problems related
to mechanical engineering, such as industrial carbon emission output,
longitudinal residual stress during friction stir welding, and stress
and fatigue of vehicular engine components. Contributing authors are
required to pay a processing fee of $450-900; the price will depend
on the type of work submitted (letter, research study, or review).
Psychology
BMC
Psychology:
This all-encompassing journal publishes articles related to
“developmental, clinical, cognitive, experimental, social,
evolutionary and educational psychology, as well as personality and
individual differences.” The archive features pieces that address
topics like sex discrimination due to visual cues, culture-specific
cognitive therapy techniques, and the short- and long-term effects of
depressive symptoms. Contributing authors are required to pay a
$2,000 processing fee; however, this cost is waived for citizens of
many developing countries, as well as writers whose institution is
registered with BioMed Central (the organization that oversees the
site).
Child
and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health (CAPMH):
The archive of this journal dates back to 2007, and contains more
than 200 research reports, case reports, editorials, and letters.
CAPMH is geared toward psychologists, pediatricians, neuroscientists,
and other individuals in the field. Many articles focus on niche
groups of children and adolescents; recently published pieces
examined the role of psychiatry within youth welfare organizations,
explored treatments for young people with autism or Asperger's
syndrome, and noted the ‘prevalence' of ADD and ADHD among children
in Turkey. Authors who wish to contribute to this journal must pay a
fee of $1,730 per article.
Evolutionary
Psychology:
Dating back more than a decade, this extensive journal specializes in
articles and case studies that either bolster previous findings
related to evolutionary psychology or seek to inform the public about
emerging technologies. Many entries explore contemporary trends, such
as drinking games and blind dates, as they relate to society and
human behavior. Authors who submit their work are not required to pay
a processing fee, but all contributors must provide a statement of
‘ethical treatment' for all participants in their respective study
or report.
Journal
of Alcoholism and Drug Dependence:
Addiction treatment and management is one of today's fastest growing
psychology sub-fields. This journal (which debuted in January 2013)
primarily explores various theories and strategies related to alcohol
and drug dependence; recently covered topics include GHB addiction,
ethanol consumption, and marijuana poisoning. Authors are invited to
submit research studies, reports, literature reviews, and other
articles for a processing fee of $900.
Mental
Illness: This
peer-reviewed journal publishes editorials, feature-length articles,
and case reports that relate to the diagnosis, treatment, and
management of mental illnesses. Topics covered in the inaugural 2013
volume include the link between schizophrenia and violent behavior in
children, mental health of male Internet users actively seeking
sexual partners, and the effects of severe depression. Archived
content contains six full issues, and dates back to 2009; authors are
invited to submit work to the site free-of-charge.
Subscription-Based Journals
The
following two journal sites require a paid subscription to access the
entries stored in their online databases. While neither of these will
be a particularly suitable option for online students and other
individuals on a budget, it should be noted that they each contain a
vast library of valuable resources ― and for many of the articles,
detailed abstracts (which may be used in citations) are available
free-of-charge.
1.
JSTOR:
Short for Journal Storage, JSTOR has grown to become one of the most
renowned subscription-based journal databases. The database gives
users the ability to conduct full-text searches of more than 2,000
journals, and the site is currently used by roughly 8,000
institutions in 160 different countries. Full access to JSTOR's
online library requires a paid subscription or onetime payment (most
individual articles cost between $10 and $50), but in the last two
years, the site has made all public domain articles available at no
charge to web users. Although only 6% of JSTOR's content is
classified as ‘public domain', this still constitutes hundreds of
thousands of entries from more than 200 journals worldwide.
For
such an extensive database, JSTOR's search functionality is fairly
straightforward. Basic searches yield results based on keywords,
while advanced options allow users to filter entries by date,
language, publisher, International Standard Book Number (ISBN),
format (article, book, pamphlet, or review), and more than 60
academic subjects. In addition, MyJSTOR archives past searches and
allows users to save and share citations.
2.
Project MUSE:
This site contains roughly 550 academic journals and 20,000
electronic books that have been published across the globe. Project
MUSE provides subscription access to libraries, which in turn allow
card-carrying patrons to access the site's materials free-of-charge
(provided they use computers within the library's network to do so).
In addition, the site's collection of open-access journals is
continuing to grow.
Like
JSTOR, search options on the Project MUSE site are somewhat
minimalistic but nonetheless effective. Journals and books are both
listed alphabetically on individual pages, but keyword searches that
filter results based on title, author, or publisher cover the entire
site. For users who are not accessing Project MUSE free-of-charge at
their local library, another search option allows them to exclusively
filter open-access journals and articles.
In
the digital age, students have plenty of options when it comes to
browsing academic publications. Brick-and-mortar students who are
granted free access to sites like JSTOR and Project MUSE are arguably
the most privileged, but the advent of open-access databases ensures
that all students are able to use journals and articles to assist
their studies.
