Description

I think having a form like structure on the GitHub-hosted site would be helpful. Anyone who knows of a OA journal that is free/costs less for APC/has subsidies for low and mid-income countries should be able to submit from a simple form on the [LowCostOpenAccess](https://github.com/BioinfoNet/LowCostOpenAccess) site which then can be accepted/discarded by the moderator.

Some useful resources:

1. Google Form to GitHub issue: [1](https://gist.github.com/bmcbride/62600e48274961819084), [2](https://medium.com/@01010111/using-google-forms-to-submit-github-issues-efdb5f876b), [3](https://blog.fossasia.org/submitting-a-github-issue-through-a-google-form/), [4](https://zapier.com/apps/github/integrations/google-forms) - the last one is probably the best. **THINGS TO CONSIDER**: Personal data, if any collected, being handled though Google
2. TypeForm form to GitHub issue: [1](https://www.typeform.com/connect/github/create-github-issues-from-your-typeform-responses/). **THINGS TO CONSIDER**: Personal data, if any collected, being handled though TypeForm
