The DOAJ Ambassador Programme: An Example Project for Promoting Cognitive Justice in the Global South

International audienceGlobal scientific publishing, including open access publishing, is heavily biased towards journals and authors from the Global North. This has resulted in a knowledge gap between the South and the North.
