Abstract: This paper researched on 175 journals of physics and astronomy on the SDOL platform of the Elsevier Group and found that on the two major open access platforms OSD and DOAJ, the vast majority of these 175 journals cannot be accessed. But, on the SDOL platform, open access is provided to full texts. The author then categorized the 175 journals into full OA journals, partial OA journals and non-OA journals, as well as conducting comparative studies, which will be of reference value for acquisition and reference service in library.
