[Open-access] How do you evaluate Open Access Journals?

[Frantsvåg Jan Erik]

A help might be the official Norwegian selection of journals that will be accepted publications venues for Norwegian authors getting “points” for their institution, resulting in increased funding for the institution.
A scientific level of 1 (ordinary) or 2 (outstanding) indicates a journal with a minimum level of quality assurance. ( A level of “-“ indicates the journal does not have this quality.) The list is not without errors, but they try to keep the criminal and criminally bad journals out.
If a journal is not listed, it has not been evaluated – you can create an account, and ask to have it accredited.

Subject: [Open-access] How do you evaluate Open Access Journals?

Hi everybody I'm about to persuade the National Psychological Association (Ordine Nazionale degli Psicologi: don't know the right translation) to insert an Open Access Journals list on their sites.

Then a question came out: How do we evaluate all these Open Access Journals?

While the usual Academic Journals are reviewed, how can we say whether an Open Access journal is a good source or just trash?

How can we say researchers don't pay to publish their works, and other stuff?

Can we rely on the impact factor? How?

The provisory list is HERE:

http://bit.ly/openaccessjournals

(I didn't created it, but I was unable to find the creator)

And: what "APC" and "waivers" stand for?

Thank you!

Ivan
