Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)...

...is a free-to-use online collection of scholarly journals, covering a huge range of subjects. Currently featuring around 5000 full text journals, it is a useful source of articles for research and assignments. Searches can be made for journal titles or individual articles and there is also the option to browse journal titles by subject area (psychology appears as a subset of 'social sciences').

Open access journals are free-to-use, respected sources of academic information and a great way of expanding your research. Don't forget to consult the library's own journal databases first, though. You will find that most of the best journals are only available through the library, so don't forget about PsycINFO and friends!
