What are the open access journals books which have no publication fee, no article-processing charge?


I'm searching for:
  1. A scientific journal, 
  2. Where publishing is free (no cost for processing the paper) and no article-processing charge
  3. That is open access (no cost for readers)
  4. .docx, LaTeX should be accepted, 
  5. online publishing is fine
  6. I don't care about impact factors, as long as the journal is trustworthy

How to search for an open access journal with no publication fee?

Use this link http://doaj.org/doaj?func=csv to download the complete list of journals from DOAJ (CSV format), with metadata as scientific field, license (if CC) and whether you have to pay to publish.

For instance:
  • How does it pay its ISP (internet service provider) hosting bill?
  • Who handles the processing and editing of articles?
  • Who does the typesetting and copyediting?
  • Who maintains the web site?

Open access journals which also don't charge a publication fee are quite rare. I think that journals published by scholarly/professional societies might satisfy this criteria in some cases. In those cases they would be funded by universities or member fees.
