Abstract

Today, to publish an academic paper requires experience not only in ‘doing’ the research itself but understanding how itis made available online or in print. This study, an excerpt, has profiled websites and journal articles indexed from the Directory of Open Access Journals during mid-2020 in the field of Science Education, with the end in mind of proposing a publication management model for beginning ‘authors’. Using an exploratory mixed method design, this excerpt of the study extracted 185 corpus websites and 103 corpus journal articles from more than 5 million article records of DOAJ. Findings revealed that United States topped the countries with the highest number of corpus and that majority of these journals do not charge submission or article processing charges from authors, yet content crawling was observed in most of the journals. Analysis of corpus articles reported sub-sections consistently included in their submission indicative of an international pattern among accepted articles. Recommendations included the proposal to develop a publication management model for beginning ‘authors’ in state universities and colleges in the Philippines.
