Good journals with publication for free? - Please list some (Jan/18/2007 )

Publication does not become harder each year but also more expensive. But there are a few journals left without publication costs and even still with free reprints. I like to ask the Bioforum community to list some not too bad journals who offer free publication.

(Of course, there are some exceptions for non-free publishing journals which may bear the costs if your institute is definitely poor. Or you can get grants especially to pay publication costs...).

I start the list with (I did not check for the latest possible revisions in policies of these journals but you may correct me)

BBA

Journal of Cell Science

I need to know more names of free publishing journals and the procedure to contact them,please help.

Can't add to the list but I had an interesting read in a recent Science issue: the average cost of a single scientific article is $8,000!

Of course, this includes the cost not only to the publishing group and publisher (communication, payment, printing, supply), but also the cost of library reources, internet, cost of the time spent by the peer-reviewers and cost of the time spent by actual readers!

indeed, these journals are free to subscribe as they are full of advertisements but the initial question was for journals of free submission; for instance, Biotechniques is free to subscribe but I think you have to pay for submission...
