of open infrastructure with a year-long campaign throughout the year.</p> <p>We hosted three events events for our community around the themes: <a

Details about the event and links to the recordings can be found further down this page.</p> <p>Below is a historical timeline providing an overview of DOAJ’s important milestones from 2003 to 2023.</p> <p>We also set up a <a href="/at-20/#support-our-anniversary-campaign">Paypal campaign</a> to celebrate 20 years of DOAJ. Though we have now concluded the DOAJ at 20 celebrations, the Paypal campaign will remain open, and we welcome any donations from our community.

The event was built around the theme ‘open’, where our moderator (Abeni Wickham) had a conversation with our three guests: Lars Bjørnshauge, Mikael Laakso, and Nadine Buckland. The discussion focused on development and changes over the last 20 years, with reflections from all speakers on what the next years will bring.

Our four speakers, Judith Barnsby, Ivan Oransky, Ixchel Faniel and Dr Haseeb Irfanullah discussed what trust in scholarly publishing meant to them and their communities. Different aspects of trust were also discussed, including transparency, timeliness, justice and accountability. The event was moderated by Joy Owango, Founding Director of TCC Africa.
