An increasing number of funding organizations require publications on the research that they fund to be open access, i.e. available to the public without having to subscribe to a journal or pay a fee. Does anybody know where I can find a list of journals/publishers that do not allow material that they publish to be published this way?

1The question should be "where can I find a list of open access journal", as nobody will try to find a list of pay-walled journals. – ShadowWarrior Nov 04 '12 at 16:04

1Note that a vast majority of subscription-based journals comply with this requirement because they automatically post pre-prints on things like pubmed central (sometimes after an embargo), and almost all of them allow pre-prints on pre-prints servers. – Cape Code Sep 10 '14 at 13:07

Directory of open access journals is the most comprehensive listing for the open access ones, so if you find a journal there, it's open. If not, then you need further research. Though usually clicking on an article link should be sufficient.
