Different Open Access Options to Publish your Papers

Just try to use *Elsevier journals Finder*. It will help you to find many journals option. Here, you have to put your article *title* or *abstract*. Other publishers such as ACS, RSC, Springer, AIP etc have also their opinions. Other ways are just use Google, which will help you to find the best journals having no APC or minimum.
