    EZB includes filtering options for free and OA journals. Make sure to use the Diamond OA filter.
  • B!SON 
    B!son helps identify suitable OA journals for publishing. Search for a journal with the title, abstract and references of your article then check whether the result is Gold OA or Diamond OA.
