Szczepanski’s List

Summary:

"My thanks to Jan Szczepanski for alerting me that his list has a new home. Szczepanski’s List of Open Access Journals is now available via the EBSCO.com website, as a freely downloadable .DOCX Word file. The page describes this 35,000-title / 9Mb / 672-page subject-ordered list as… “probably the world’s largest list of open access journals in the humanities and social sciences” plus Law, Statistics and Geology. No “probably” about it, this fine work is surely the largest OA-only list which is also freely available to the public. The EZB is at a similar scale, and does have 37,600 OA titles since 2010, but the EZB covers all disciplines including the sciences.

I had assumed the list had long since stopped updating circa 2015 and was now a legacy item, but the new header now notes “2,932 titles added 2017”. The file’s internal datestamp says the last update in Word was made March 2018. Unfortunately there’s no “First included in (date)…” component to the list entries, by which one might extract just the new 2016-18 finds. Nor does EBSCO appear to offer a rolling “What’s New”...."
