The website will be updated with their names and a conflict of interest statement from each.
Two Council seats remain and these will be filled by invite only. DOAJ is looking for representatives from other organisations, preferably organisations operating out of low income countries or organisations whose mission matches that of DOAJ’s.
On behalf of all the DOAJ Team, I wish each of our new Council members a warm welcome!
