    Fortunately, for my field of study, there are a number of options for peer-reviewed journal publication that do not require me to pay a fee, so I avoid journals that wish to charge me a fee in order to include my article.

    Aother way to get published

    Find a friendly professor and help him with a paper by assisting in research, review, writing, etc. That way you can be listed as a co-author.
    Check out Authorship on page 6 of APA Publication Manual (5th ed.).

    It's not a "requirement", it's an "additional service" of making your paper freely available. IIRC Springer does it, too. Smells close to scam, and doesn't make much sense (except maybe for natural science folks), but veritable commercial publishers are engaged in this game. There are a few pure Open Access publishers that are doing very well (PLoS and BMC, mostly in life sciences) - these do require a fee. OTOH, "open access" model is suitable for bad or semi-bad journals (Hindawi Publishers, a commercial joint that puts out hundreds of "OA journals", got into some kind of scandal recently). It's a new thing, kind of like online learning :)

    I'm not defending Oxford Journals - they do not require defense. These are established rags ranging from "decent" to "great", all in appropriate indexes and with impact factors.

    Actually, having the author pay the online access fee make perfect sense as an alternative to having the reader pay for access. I should have made my comment clearer: There are a number of journals (both print and online) in which the authors "share the cost of publication". If an article is accepted for publication, the author is expected to pay a publishing fee. This is different than paying for readers' free online access to you article, which is what Oxford and Springer do.

    I was just observing that in my discipline (instructional technology & distance learning) there are a number of good peer-reviewed journals that are available online without a fee, such as the Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration, The International Review of Research in Open and Distant Learning, Journal of Interactive Online Learning, Journal of Online Learning & Teaching (MERLOT) and others.

    I see. In my discipline, I know of Journal of Universal Computer Science (J.UCS) and Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR) that are established, peer-reviewed and completely free. JAIR is actually #1 AI journal by impact and is crazy selective.

    No, I am just focused on finishing my PhD. I have nothing else that I should be concerned with (except work and family).

    Not my field, but I would start with the academic societies. You may also ask a prof about the publications that are highly respected. Another source would be the bibliographies in the literature that you read.

    Sorry to hear about the lack of response. Trade mags are usually the easiest to break into. If you have a good idea and you follow their submission guidelines, you can usually expect a reply. If this is something that interests you, I'd encourage you to keep trying and not give up.
