65 Materials Science journals with no fee to publish with at least 10 papers in 2025. No fee means the journal, DOAJ or OpenAlex states the fee as zero. A journal that has not published a fee is not listed here, and neither is a subscription journal that charges only for open access.
As of 2 October 2026. From OpenAlex, Crossref and DOAJ. ORBIT Tier is our own ranking within a field, not a Scopus or Web of Science quartile.
