<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Many thanks for this, Lars. I believe your answer is excellent and full of good common sense. DOAJ is about OA scholarly publishing quality, not about putting
pressure on potentially tyrannical governments. Given the way some governments are evolving these days, this might even lead to very weird consequences.<br>

Politics does intersect open access, but not quite in the way Heather suggests.<br>

good quality open access journals, but they must apply and meet the selection criteria in order to be included. We might also discuss the issue about “despotic governments”, but currently we would find it very hard to 1) create selection criteria for DOAJ
defining what constitutes a journal sponsored by a “despotic government” and 2) agree on a list of such governments.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

dissemination of works subject to censorship and rejecting open access journals that would be suitable venues for critics of the despotic government. There is no blame and no immediately obvious remedy, but solving a problem begins with acknowledging that
a problem exists and inviting discussion of how to avoid and solve the problem. OA friends, please consider this such an invitation.</span>
