You might be referring to "Open Access Journals" (Access instead of Source).
There should not be any payment for accessing / downloading articles
of Open Access Journals. At the most they can require free
registration ["User Id" and "Password" ] just to collect some
statistics or provide some value added services.
if you find any journal listed in "Directory of open access
journals" that asks payment, Please ask people compiling the directory
to remove the entries.

Dear Professional Collegues, Can anybody clarify about open source journals? According to me, these are free journals accessible online. But, I found that, in this catagory from a networking association, for a perticular open source journal, to access full article, they were asking user name & password. Unless we pay and get this, we cannot access. Delnet as this Directory of open source journals. Here I found this problem. I am in confusion. Pl clarify.
