"Articles naming" counts the research articles (of up to 200 from the last 24 months) whose funder list names European Commission. *Impact factor calculated from OpenAlex open data, not the official Clarivate value. Review time: median days from submission to acceptance, from the dates publishers deposit in Crossref.

Frequently asked questions

Which journals publish the most European Commission funded research?

In the recent research articles we checked, the journals that name European Commission as a funder most often are Open Research Europe, Nuclear Materials and Energy, Astronomy and Computing, Journal of Cultural Heritage, Information Systems. In all, 861 journals name it.

Does publishing in these journals help my European Commission grant?

These journals already publish work supported by European Commission, so editors and reviewers know this kind of research. Whether a journal suits your paper still depends on its scope, indexing and review time, shown for each journal in the table.

Does European Commission pay the article processing charge (APC)?

Many funders pay or reimburse open access fees under their open access policy, but the rules differ by funder and by grant. Check European Commission's open access policy and your grant terms; for country-based waivers, use the free APC waiver checker.

Where does this data come from?

From the funder information publishers deposit with each article in Crossref. For each journal, ScholarsColab looked at up to 200 research articles from the last 24 months and counted the funders they name. Not every publisher deposits funders, so a journal can be missing.
