The Big Question
![Page 3: Open Access Initiatives in India](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554b3ff5b4c9054b5e8b4832/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Bigger Question! Why Open Access is even more relevant to
India?
• Most reputed journals are published in developed countries (U.S / Europe) and are monopolized by few publishers
• Purchases are in foreign currency
• Even best indigenous research is published in foreign journals
![Page 4: Open Access Initiatives in India](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554b3ff5b4c9054b5e8b4832/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
India as consumer of research results
would benefit from world wide Open Access Movement
![Page 5: Open Access Initiatives in India](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062404/554b3ff5b4c9054b5e8b4832/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What about visibility of Indian Research?
• Poor in academic publishing trade• Poor visibility and impact of Indian Publication• Authors prefer to publish in High Impact
Publications, hence best of the research is published outside India

Open Access (OA) means free and online access to scholarly literature that can be freely disseminated further with proper author attribution.
It brings down barriers to scientific communication by using Internet

Conclusion
• We have seen many initiatives from India• Many are in Pipeline• However we need create an awareness about
true “soul” of Open Access – Knowledge grows by sharing.
