a very big thanks to the people at DOAJ.org who allowed me to reap the benefits of their hard work of collecting all those open access journals.

a big thanks also to annie at blogger university who provided me with the three column template I was looking for, as well as many other helpful tips, like how to create the invaluable [+/-] feature...

Way #1: Peck.

Our collection of online journals (above) is listed and sorted by topic for users to survey. The sites listed are the sites searched by the corresponding CSE. Survey the sites, find one you like:

If it has an asterisk clicking it will pull up in the right column a posted abstract, selected from the site's own "About" page, or whatever it's equivalent is. The link to the site itself will be clearly situated in the first line of the abstract.
If it doesn't have an asterisk clicking it will take you directly to the journal's home page.

Way #2: Pigeonhole.

1. Find the embedded CSE of your choice (on the left), and…
2. Enter query.
3. Wait approximately 0.15 seconds.
4. Google will search the journals listed under the topic, providing just what you're looking for.

Search Pigeon is a collection of Google Co-op^TM Custom Search Engines (CSEs) designed to make researching on the web a richer, more rewarding, and more efficient process.

Designed for researchers in the Arts and Humanities, with a decidedly interdisciplinary bent, the objective of Search Pigeon is to provide a tool enabling the productive and trustworthy garnering of scholarly articles through customized searching.

Right now SearchPigeon.org provides CSEs that search hundreds of peer-reviewed and open access online journal, provided they are either English-language journals, or provide a translation of their site into English. (For a broader collection of online journals published in all languages, visit DOAJ.org.)

The guiding philosophy behind Search Pigeon is that the production of trust and knowledge is fundamental to the transformation of society, from the well-being of individual minds and bodies to the healthy operation of large and complicated human networks and institutions. This production is a matter of cooperation and dissemination. So Search Pigeon in the long-view is a practical experiment in the way things spread. If you want to have a part in this research experiment, please drop me a line.
