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

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.
<br>
<br>
</div>
Since I am an African searcher, your support will be helpful
