Open acces journals do not charge the reader for downloading scientific articles. Here is a list of open access journals which - at least occasionally - contain papers on the ecology, behaviour and applied aspects of the biology of mosquitoes and other disease vectors. We hope the list is helpful for medical and veterinary entomologists or anybody else interested in vector borne diseases. 

If you know of an open access journal not listed here and which fits the scope of this list, or if you discover a mistake, please drop a line: andreas.rosebiogents.com. Thank you!

• Quite a few "open access journals" are in there only for the money: They accept anything for publication as long as the author pays (see, for example, Bohannon (2013) Who's afraid of peer review? Science 342: 60-65). Here is a list of questionable open-access publishers. The Open Access Scholary Publishers Association says it wants to set some standards.
• This said, look for open access sources in the Directory of Open Access Journals.
• CiteBank is a collection of open access content from digital libraries, publishers, and other bibliographic systems.
• A similar source for older, but often still very helpful literature is the Biodiversity Heritage Library.
• African Journals Online's list of African Open Access Journals in Biology & Life Sciences, including, for example, the African Journal of Applied Zoology and Environmental Biology.
