Open Access Journals (That I Like)

In my view, ‘green’ open access with author-archived preprints is not useful enough for many readers, and ‘gold’ open access with article-processing charges is just rent-seeking by publishers. Only ‘platinum’ or ‘diamond’ open access, free for readers and for authors, lives up to the founding ideals.

Here are open access journals in or near philosophy that I like, in addition to the two that I am involved with, Ergo and Philosophers' Imprint.
