Does anyone posses some first-hand knowledge of purely Open Access journals (not major publishers with both a traditional and an open-access publishing process) indexed in JCR (ISI) and/or Scopus? Thanks in advance!
Here's an example of an open-access, high-quality math journal SIGMA (which by the way is FREE for authors, i.e., there are no publication charges at all) indexed in Web of Science and Scopus with an impact factor of 1.243:
Yes there are for some time now many open access journals in all publication databases. There seems to be no disadvantage in terms of indexing to publication in open access journals. However there is also no obvious advantage suggesting that the impact is the same for open access and regular publications. If open access provides a measurable advantage in terms of providing access to publications then one might expect some positive advantages to be seen by this point, but this is evidently not the case e.g. see http://www.nature.com/nature/focus/accessdebate/19.html . Is this surprising to open access proponents?
OMICS is not an open access scientific journal publisher, it is a "have anything published as long as you pay" internet pdf generator!
"peerJ" is about to obtain their IF and is indexed by PubMed. This journal is the most innovating serious OA solution that has appeared these last 5 years.
Scopus has a number of "publish and pay" journals including some on Beall's list of predatory publishers. They seem to be less discriminating than Web of Science in their selection of journals.
