Rangifer (caribou) and other academic journals free online

I stumbled across this info because of an announcement by Rangifer the journal of Research, Management and Husbandry of Reindeer and other Northern Ungulates that beginning with volume 28 (2008) is available free online.

For those interested in Rangifer, the journal in its entirety can be accessed at

The exciting part that makes this relevant to everyone is that the e-cover for the journal says it is an:

“An Open Journal System-solution”

The Open Journal System is part of a bigger project “Public Knowledge Project” that is a partnership between UBC, SFU and Stanford University. The list of journals is extensive and includes journals relevant to communication, biodiversity, ecology, wildlife, etc. and is probably worth revisiting to look for additions to the list.

The list of journals can be found at:
