[GOAL] Re: Elsevier in Africa!

[Thomas Hervé Mboa Nkoudou]

Alicia,
I am glad that a member of elsevier reacts to my claim. Clearly for your
project in Africa, is it possible for you to respect these following
conditions:

- free APC journal
- the green éditorial policy of DOAJ
- embargo periods of no more than 6 months.

In the post cited before, Elsevier wants to help Africa by making the
research more visible, but if african authors have to pay, you will not
resolve the problem because, I can publish my work in elsevier journals in
the world since I have money to pay charges.

So it is more just, I want to say for cognitive justice make difference in
Africa, and you can do it.

My holiday will be peaceful and relaxing, the day that you will consider
these conditions for your African Journal.
Hi Thomas -

All our authors, no matter where in the world they are, have both gold and
green Open Access publishing options.

With best wishes for a peaceful and relaxing holiday season,

Alicia

Elsevier plans an African Open Journals, using the Gold voice. But for me,
it is not the right way for us (Africa).

I want all GOAL members to join me in an open letter adressed to Elsevier,
with the objective to claim the full green voice for Africa.

Since I am an African searcher, your support will be helpful
