Dear zooarchers,

I'm not sure if this topic was already brought to the list (if it was recently, I'm sorry!), but I would be very interested in getting your opinion about this:

With the increasing "cost of knowledge", and in support of open publishing portals to open up science to all (including the citizens that are funding many of us), I'm more and more trying to publish my papers in online open-access journals that are not owned by Elsevier, Springer and other large commercial publishers... and yet, I'm struggling to find the right platforms! 

Thus, I'll be very interested in knowing which open-access journals you actually read, and consider for publication. In fact, the list of "new open access journals" is endless, but many sometimes look like hoax to me... To start the discussion, here's a quick list of open-access journals that we could, in my opinion, consider for submitting a "fauna" paper:
- PaleoAnthropology, US, full online open-access, free
- Paleontologica Electronica, US?, full online open-access, free
- PLoS One, US, full online open-access, expensive...
- PNAS, US, possible online open-access, expensive (and hard!)...
- Journal of Taphonomy, ES, full online open-access, free... but down?
- Paléo, FR (with English papers), full online open-access, free
- Quaternaire, FR (with English papers), online open-access after 3 years, free 
- Bulletin de la Société Préhistorique Française, FR (with English papers), online open-access after 2 years, free
- Gallia and Gallia Préhistoire, FR (with English papers), full online open-access, free
- Anthropozoologica, FR (with English papers), full online open-access, free
- Palethnologie, FR (with English papers), full online open-access, free

This short list is very partial (and very frenchy!)... Do you read these journals? Do you know any others?

All the very best,
Manu
