Open access in India

In India, the Open Access (उन्मुक्त अभिगम) movement started in May 2004, when two workshops were organized by the M S Swaminathan Research Foundation, Chennai.[1] In 2006, the National Knowledge Commission in its recommendations proposed that "access to knowledge is the most fundamental way of increasing the opportunities and reach of individuals and groups".[2] In 2011, the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) began requiring that its grantees provide open access to funded research,[3][4] the Open Access India forum formulated a draft policy on Open Access for India. The Shodhganga, a digital repository for theses, was also established in 2011 with the aim of promoting and preserving academic research. The University Grants Commission (UGC) made it mandatory for scholars to deposit their theses in Shodhganga, as per the Minimum Standards and Procedure for Award of M. Phil./Ph.D. Degrees Regulations, 2016. Currently, the Directory of Open Access Journals lists 326 open access journals published in India, of which 233 have no fees.

As of April 2022, the Directory of Open Access Journals lists 326 open access journals which are being published from India of which, 233 are having no Article Processing Charges..[25] Titles include the Indian Journal of Community Medicine, Indian Journal of Medical Research, Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology and Journal of Horticultural Sciences.[25]

Repositories

IndiaRxiv, preprints repository service for India

As of April 2018, there are at least 78 collections of scholarship in India housed in digital open access repositories.[26][27][28] They contain journal articles, book chapters, data, and other research outputs that are free to read. The Open Access India with the help of Centre for Open Science had launched a preprint repository for India, IndiaRxiv on 5 August 2019 which had recently crossed 100 records mark.[29] However, it is not accepting the records currently on its OSF but there is an update of resumption on new website.[30][31] The Open Access India earlier had launched AgriXiv, preprints repository for agriculture and allied sciences which is now currently with CABI as agriRxiv.[32]

Government stifled criticism with a tight control of the media, and the infrastructure lagged behind other countries, Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) holding a monopoly on most such services.[1] In a 2012 census report on Guyanese households, 55.5% had a radi...
