Thanks to new pledges of support from Canada, France and the Netherlands we surpassed the halfway point of our SCOSS [Global Sustainability Coalition for Open Science Services] campaign. Currently, we are at 60% of our financial target. In these challenging times, we are grateful for the worldwide support for DOAB and OAPEN and commitment to OA books. Have a look at the updated supporter page on the DOAB platform here, now consisting of nearly 50 SCOSS supporters and DOAB members.
