[Ina Smith]

Dear Colleagues

With Open Access Week 2019<http://www.openaccessweek.org/page/about> around the corner, it is maybe good to revisit how many high quality peer-reviewed Open Access journals are listed on the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)<https://doaj.org/>. Journals not listed yet can apply for inclusion at https://doaj.org/application/new

196 of the journals listed on DOAJ are published in Africa. This from a total of 13 773 DOAJ listed OA journals published globally.

Please find the comprehensive list up to date, attached.

To make the transition from print to online, consider the following:
