49 Google Scholar-Indexed Medicine Journals Without APC from Elsevier

This directory lists 49 Google Scholar-indexed Medicine journals with no APC from Elsevier. 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 Google Scholar. Indexing coverage changes over time, so confirm current status on the Google Scholar 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.
