This directory lists 249 Scopus-indexed Social Sciences journals with no APC in English, licensed CC BY. Every listing has been filtered to journals that charge no article processing charge.
Yes. Every journal listed charges no article processing charge. Some journals may still levy other fees such as submission or page charges — those are shown separately on each journal page, and you can filter to journals with no other fees at all.
These journals are recorded in our directory as covered by Scopus. Indexing coverage changes over time, so confirm current status on the Scopus website before relying on it for an assessment exercise.
Start with scope fit — read the aims and scope and the two most recent issues. Then check the indexing databases your institution recognises, the peer review model, the licence, whether you keep copyright, and whether articles receive DOIs and are preserved long term. Every one of those is shown on each journal page here.
