+This list is of course not exhaustive, and is mainly based on a [[http://wowter.net/2011/01/06/the-impact-factor-of-open-access-journals/|ranking — made in 2009 by a blogger —]] of all the open access journals according to their [[wp>impact factor]] (IF). Because this factor is highly discipline-dependent, we created five different categories and took the journals with the highest scores in each category.
 All the journals listed here can be accessed via the [[http://www.doaj.org/|DOAJ portal]] (Directory of Open Acces Journals), which also proposes a basic search engine.
