Currently, I am looking for free-to-publish journals with an impact factor of more than 4 or 5 in food science and nutrition. It would be very helpful if anyone could suggest some good journals with free or low-cost publication processes. Thanks, anyone in advance if you provide any information or guidance.
Try to pay for the best possible journal. I know it's a hardship short term, but in the long run you will be pleased of your achievement and never regret spending the money :)
Dear Aniq Ur Rehman ,
I would aim for subscription-based journals (or hybrid journals where you decline the open access option), these journals are in most cases free of costs. Some examples are:
-Journal of Food Science and Technology (JFST) (https://www.springer.com/journal/13197 ). Impact factor 3.117
-Journal of Food Science (https://ift.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/17503841 ). Impact factor 3.693
-Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10970010 ). Impact factor 4.125
-Food Bioscience (https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/food-bioscience ). Impact factor 5.318
-Food & Function (https://www.rsc.org/journals-books-databases/about-journals/food-function/ ). Impact factor 6.317
-Food Chemistry (https://www.journals.elsevier.com/food-chemistry ). Impact factor 9.231
If you consider journals without the impact factor >4-5 ‘requirement’ you might check the list of open access journals free of costs:

Best regards.
PS. Try to avoid predatory journals. Potential predatory publishers you can check in the Beall’s list (https://beallslist.net and https://beallslist.net/#update ) and potential predatory so-called stand-alone journals you can check here https://beallslist.net/standalone-journals/ and https://beallslist.net/standalone-journals/#update
Thankyou you very much, Sir Rob Keller, for your excellent and worthy answers for all of us new researchers and fellows. More power to you.
