Hello,

I was curious if there are any other sites similar to arXiv.org that store and allow free access for articles in physics.

Thanks.

Physics news on Phys.org
Even I tried to search for free publications but no luck except for arxiv. I would love to know other free publication websites but I rather doubt there other free publication websites of physics besides arxiv
 
Please note that ALL new papers appearing in ALL IoP journals are available for FREE during the first 30 days that they appear online. Also note that New Journal of Physics, which is one of IoP's publication, is always available for free.

One should also start looking at the Physical Review journals, especially PRL. They have recently started a program in which the authors can pay an extra fee to make their papers have unlimited open access. Not many so far have taken up on it (I certainly didn't with my last paper), but I'm starting to hear that they are becoming more frequent.

Zz.
