@doaj.bsky.social is one of the best things that happened to open access and open science infrastructure.

A quote from the Forum for Open Research in MENA that I am very pleased to share!

Super interesting - 71% of OA journals found in the MENA region were launched in the last 15 years. As Emily Choynowski highlights, this shows the relatively recent developments in open research in the region. #FORM4Open
