List of Paid Physics and Astronomy Journals: 2025

Are you looking for without APC physics and astronomy journals? Then you are in the right place.

Here, we provide an updated list of scholarly, peer-reviewed without APC physics and astronomy journals.

APC Free physics and astronomy Journals are academic journals that do not charge authors an Article Processing Charge (APC) to publish their research.

There are many physics and astronomy journals that charge zero APC (Article Processing Charges) from authors, and these journals are indexed in major databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), and DOAJ.
