Blog - Europe PMC: Europe PMC improves discoverability of preprints
by Subbiah Arunachalam 07 May '22

Friends, Preprints are emerging as the new normal in scholarly communication. Please see https://council.science/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/The-normalization-of-pre… and http://blog.europepmc.org/2022/05/europe-pmc-improves-discoverability-of.ht… I am happy to see DBT Wellcome Alliance as one of the more than 35 funding agencies that are behind this project promoting Open Science. We have a long way to go in India in adopting Open Science practices. Even the postprint servers we have (CSIR Central, Science Central, etc.) are not functioning well, and many researchers are flouting the funders' OA smandate with impunity. I wonder if CSIR, DBT, and DST monitor the compliance of their OA mandates at all. Regards.
