Publishing research in Q3 or Q4 journals indexed in Scopus or Web of Science (SCI/SCIE) is also a goal for many researchers. Like Q1 and Q2, Q3 and Q4 Journals also expect researchers to submit quality research.
Many Quartile journals ask researchers to submit Article Processing Charges after the research paper is accepted for publication.
This blog post lists free-to-publish Open Access Q3 and Q4 journals that are completely unpaid (no APC).
What are Q3 and Q4 Journals?
Journals are ranked into quartiles based on their impact and citation performance.
Q1 Journals: Top 25% journals in a subject area,
Q2 Journals: Journals ranked between 25%–50%,
Q3 Journals: Journals ranked between 50%–75%,
Q4 Journals: Journals ranked between 75%–100%.
