“My body is a journal in a way. It's like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist.” -- Johnny Depp (American film Actor. b.1963)
The Journal of Johnny Depp is probably available on YouTube. Science and technology journals are more problematic. Most require a subscription. Occasionally, however, you run across a collection of open source journals. MDPI.com (http://mdpi.com/) is one such source.
What is MDPI.com? The MDPI.com Web explains …
“MDPI.com is a platform for open access journals published by MDPI, an international organization based in Basel, Switzerland aimed at preserving rare chemical samples, and publishing several open access journals since 1996. Journals published include Molecules, an electronic, open access journal launched in 1996, the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, launched in 2000 and Sensors, launched in 2001. Our publishing activities are supported by active scientists on the international editorial boards including several Nobel Prize Laureates.
“All content is open access and can be re-used
“Journals published by MDPI are fully open access: whether you are trying to access research articles, reviews or any other content on this platform ‒ you will be able to access it free of charge. On the counter-part, we levy article processing charges (APC) on the author's side to finance the publication of our journals.”
