Societies and Open Access Research (SOAR) Project
The goal of the Societies and Open Access Research (SOAR) project is to maintain a comprehensive catalog of full (non-hybrid) OA journals published by scholarly societies. For this purpose, a society’s relationship to its OA journals might be that of owner, publisher, or partner with the publisher. The project home page lists recommended readings on OA for society journals.
