Vocational Awe and Librarian
by Francis Jayakanth 14 Jun '24

14 Jun '24

From: Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy <vyasamoorthy(a)gmail.com> Sent: 06 June 2024 18:11 When we talk to a doctor, teacher, judge, police officer, etc we may experience a sense of respect and awe. They are socially superior in some way requiring our submissive behavior, or we concede so at a mental level. Is this necessary or correct I do not know. Similarly, would you consider a librarian with respect? Both men and women are employed as Librarians in India but in Western countries most of them are women. The salaries of library staff are low. In most institutions, even the chief librarian does not enjoy the status of the Head of the department but is asked to report to somebody two or three levels lower from the top. When I was employed as Librarian-cum-Technical-Info-officer in IDL, the grandmother of a friend of mine asked: Oh! your job is to dust and put back books in a library? That picturisation and image of a librarian has not improved or changed much! In my opinion, librarians and the society at large should think about increasing the vocational awe that librarians deserve. Trigger for this message: Hidden here!

India should share costs of opening up knowledge
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 May '24

31 May '24

Friends, The D2O (Direct-to-Open) model for publishing and distributing academic and scholarly books is here to stay. Please read https://news.mit.edu/2024/mit-press-direct-open-impact-report-0529. Leading Indian academic and research libraries that cater to large numbers of users should come forward to support such programmes by subscribing to them. While our institutions and librarians are ready to pay tens of thousands of dollars annually on books and journals published by for-profit publishers, most of them are reluctant to take part in the D2O programmes such as the one pioneered by the MIT Press and the S2O (Subscribe-to-Open) programmes pioneered by Annual Reviews Inc. Also, not many institutions in India support *arXiv* financially although a large number of Indian physicists, mathematicians, computational biologists and several others use *arXiv* extensively both to learn about the latest developments in their fields and to announce their own new results. On the one hand, our political and scientific leaders never miss an opportunity to tell the world that India is the third largest publisher of research papers and that we are close to becoming a scientific super power. On the other hand, there seems to be a reluctance to participate in the sharing of costs of publishing of books, journals and preprints which would anyway become freely accessible *thanks to others paying for them*. That is not what super powers would do. With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam

Collaborating on drafting an article/ blog on performance assessment of Koha ILMS
by Atanu Garai 27 May '24

27 May '24

Hi Community, Koha as an open-source ILMS application is stable and have been powering many libraries worldwide. We at SocialWell have been operating multiple Koha ILMS instances for six institutions for the last six months now. In this period, we have monitored how Koha is performing on different sizes on library, usage, and server specifications. In general, it appears Koha-using libraries can benefit a lot from performance enhancements. From a cost perspective, it seems Koha runs well in a minimum of 2vCPU, 8 GB RAM, and 16 GB memory. A server with this spec costs about Rs. 66,816 a year. That’s a significant expense for a library having 5,000 to 10,000 resources. I want to collaborate with other Koha experts to write an article or a blog on the performance pros and cons and areas of improvements. This would help us to put together more scenarios – running multiple Koha instances in a single compute machine, running each instance separately, among others. You can email me at hi(a)socialwell.net. Best regards, Atanu Atanu Garai SocialWell w: www.socialwell.net<http://www.socialwell.net/> LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/socialwell/> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/SocialWellNet>

Editors at Philosophy & Public Affairs Resign and Will Launch New OA Journal
by Subbiah Arunachalam 23 May '24

23 May '24

Friends, "Crucial aims of scholarly publishing are not well served by commercial publishing," say the editors of a leading philosophy journal. Please see what I just received from <OPENCAFE-L(a)listserv.byu.edu>. Another mass resignation at a Wiley journal as the editors and all of the editorial board members of one of the most influential journals in moral and political philosophy, Philosophy & Public Affairs, have resigned en masse <https://dailynous.com/2024/05/22/editors-at-philosophy-will-launch-new-oa-j…>. This makes 11 journal mass resignations at Wiley since 2018 according to the Retraction Watch Mass Resignation List <https://retractionwatch.com/the-retraction-watch-mass-resignations-list/>. As the Daily Nous says according to their statement, *crucial aims of scholarly journals are “not well-served by commercial publishing* ... The outgoing editors and editorial board members will be launching a new diamond <https://www.coalition-s.org/diamond-open-access/> open-access journal to be published by Open Library of Humanities (OLH) <https://www.openlibhums.org/>, and will be occupying at the new journal the same positions they held at *Philosophy & Public Affairs*.” You can read the statement at the links above, it includes this familiar opening: "Faced with this conflict between purpose and business model, we have decided to embrace the purpose and move to an alternative model. The alternative—which our librarian colleagues have been urging for some time—is for libraries, universities, and other academic institutions to offer direct support for the publication of open-access journals, which are guided by independent scholarly judgment and freely available for authors and readers" **** It is indeed sad that at a time when enlightened editors of many journals starting from Fields medalist Timothy Gowers, who initiated the 'Boycott Elsevier' movement, are urging scientists to move away from commercial journals, we in India are entering into Transformative agreements with commercial publishers and helping them tighten their stranglehold on science and scholarship. A few months ago representatives of a commercial publisher was even given a red carpet welcome in New Delhi and their 'bus trip' to 15 leading institutions was facilitated so they could talk to professors and students on topics like writing research papers, presentation of data and scholarly communication! With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam

Co-located workshops during Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2024)
by STM STMet 2024 20 May '24

20 May '24

Fifth International Conference on Science & Technology Metrics (STMet 2024) Tien Giang University. My Tho, Ho Chi Min. Vietnam October 17-19, 2024 Co-located Workshops https://socio.org.uk/stm/workshop/ 1. First Workshop on Text-Based Metrics and Indicators About this workshop Many scientists have disapproved of traditional research assessment systems such as publications, citations, and impact factors. Traditional metrics are obtrusive and based on human judgements, resulting in inconsistent and non-correlative results. In the rapidly evolving landscape of research assessment systems, the emergence and development of non-bibliographic indicators have marked a significant stride toward more reliable evaluation models. This workshop aims to explore innovative research in the rapidly evolving field of text-based indicators, focusing on its integration and application within the broader scope of assessment systems. We warmly welcome submissions from all, regardless of their level of expertise, that demonstrate novel approaches, theoretical insights, and practical applications of text metrics and their role in advancing the field of research assessment systems. You can submit the papers online on the submission page with a note on text-based metrics. ————– 2. First Workshop on “Future Developments in Altmetrics” About this workshop We are excited to announce an upcoming workshop on “Future Developments in Altmetrics” that aims to break new ground in Altmetrics. The workshop will encourage discussion from academic and working experts, which promises to be an enriching experience for professionals and researchers alike. Research Assessment systems are on the rise. New advances in Assessment indicators have enabled the creation of ever more competent evaluation systems that have the potential to contribute to various types of measures. However, this potential to result in a step-change in the deployment of Altmetrics with an acceptable level of reliability is warranted. Many studies comparing Altmetrics findings with other research assessment measures reported conflicting results. Researchers and institutions must unite to transform the unique insights and innovations developed in Altmetrics from lab prototypes into robust and reliable real-life solutions for institutions. In this workshop, we create a platform structured around three specific themes: (1) the Reliability of Altmetrics indicators, (2) Scope and application perspectives, and (3) Limitations and improvements. We encourage researchers to address any issue related to Altmetrics and present their findings. Workshop Chairs 1. Amir Reza Asnafi Shahid Beheshti University. Velenjak Tehran.

Librarians must interact with researchers much more than they
by Subbiah Arunachalam 17 May '24

17 May '24

Fellow Academic and research Librarians, All of us know our work is not confined to what we do with inanimate objects - books, reports, online content, managing our budgets to get the maximum benefit to our clients/users, and so on. The most important part of any, especially an academic/research, library is not these physical things and not even efficient management of the scarce resources allotted to the library. It is people as Washington State University's business librarian Gabriella Reznowski would tell you. See how in partnership with Assistant professor Amrita Lahiri, Ms Reznowski helped Lahiri's entrepreneurial management class complete their term project in which they pick a research question focused on entrepreneurship and conduct a survey of the literature relevant to their question. They interview entrepreneurs and use databases such as Pitchbook and Statista to find answers.Dr Lahiri considers the university's libraries to be a critical ally in pursuing this objective. Please see https://news.wsu.edu/news/2024/05/16/carson-colleges-amrita-lahiri-named-re… . The question for us in India is how often do we see such active collaboration between faculty and librarians even in the best of our higher educational institutions? Saying that in the Internet era researchers have direct access to the info they need through their laptops is not good enough. How many of us know the current questions our professors and students are investigating? How often do we meet them and discuss their information needs? I have had the privilege of knowing a few librarians who excelled in serving their academic clients beyond their expectations. I will only name two of them: Mr V Sarangan, who came from Salem in Tamil Nadu with a Third class BA and a basic diploma/degree in library science to join as a technical assistant in the CSIR headquarter's library in New Delhi. His lowly status notwithstanding he did a marvellous jof. He knew which officer, be it the Director General or Head of Planning or Manpower division, would benefit by reading which latest arrivals from among the books, reports, journal articles, etc. Then there was Ratnakar, now retired, of the Raman Research Institute, who knew the research interests of virtually every researcher in the campus from the Director down to the freshly recruited research student. I have benefited much from both of them although I was not working in the same institution. I would like to hear such positive examples from the current crop of librarians. With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658

Suggestions for improving the scholarly communication ecosystem in India
by Subbiah Arunachalam 17 May '24

17 May '24

Friends, I have some suggestions for Indian scientists and those involved in supporting research. 1. All publishing authors (from India) may be persuaded to register with ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) and obtain a unique author identity. Mine is below the signature line. [To obtain a unique ORCID identity, one may follow these steps: 1. *Register for an ORCID ID*: - Visit the ORCID website[1] and click on "Register now." - Fill in your name, email address, and create a password. - If you already have an ORCID ID, select the appropriate option; otherwise, continue with the registration process[4]. 2. *Verify Your Information*: - Review the list of researchers with similar names and select the correct profile or continue with registration if you don't have an ORCID ID yet[4]. 3. *Set Up Your Profile*: - Create a password and adjust the visibility settings for your profile to ensure it is visible to everyone, as ORCID is designed to help researchers share their information with others[4]. 4. *Agree to Terms and Register*: - Check the terms of use boxes, complete the registration process, and confirm that you are not a robot[4]. 5. *Utilize Your ORCID ID*: - Once registered, your ORCID ID will serve as a unique and persistent identifier throughout your career, even if your name changes or you move to a different organization[4]. 6. *Link Your Publications and Works*: - Add your publications, funding information, and other works to your ORCID profile to showcase your research output and achievements[4]. By following these steps, you can easily obtain a unique ORCID identity that distinguishes you as a researcher and helps in accurately attributing your scholarly work[4][5]. Citations: [1] https://orcid.org [2] https://libguides.uprm.edu/orcid-en [3] https://info.orcid.org/documentation/api-tutorials/api-tutorial-get-and-aut… [4] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFpgseSN7kE [5] https://www.crimejusticejournal.com/orcid/index} **** 2. All institutions which are shown as affiliations in the byline of a research article/report/preprint/any other kind of published stuff should be persuaded to register and obtain unique organizational RoR (Research Organization Registry). [To obtain a unique institutional identity using the Research Organization Registry (ROR), please follow these steps: 1. *Check if your institution already has a ROR ID* - Search for your institution on the ROR website[3] to see if it already has a unique ROR ID assigned. - If your institution is listed, you can use the provided ROR ID. 2. *Request a new ROR ID if needed* - If your institution is not listed, you can request a new ROR ID by submitting a form on the ROR website[3]. - Provide details about your institution, such as its official name, website, and address. **** 3. *Validate and update your institution's ROR profile* - Once your institution has a ROR ID, review the associated profile information for accuracy. - If any details need to be updated, such as name variants or address information, you can request changes by contacting the ROR team[3]. **** 4. *Open Researcher and Contributor ID* - Encourage researchers affiliated with your institution to include the ROR ID in their publications and grant applications. - Provide guidance to researchers on how to properly format and include the ROR ID. **** 5. *Monitor and maintain your institution's ROR profile* - Regularly review your institution's ROR profile to ensure that it remains accurate and up-to-date. - If any changes occur, such as mergers, name changes, or new campuses, update the ROR profile accordingly[3]. By obtaining a unique ROR ID and maintaining an accurate institutional profile, your institution can ensure consistent and reliable identification in research information systems and databases[3]. Citations: [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8391995/ [2] https://www.techtarget.com/iotagenda/definition/unique-identifier-UID [3] https://clarivate.com/blog/getting-the-full-picture-institutional-unificati… [4] https://education.icar.gov.in/Latest_Universal_Student_ID_for_ICAR_for_webs… [5] https://www.thehindu.com/education/registration-of-students-for-unique-iden… for accuracy. **** 3. We should insist that all authors deposit their published work both in *Zenodo.org* and *BASE* in the interest of long term preservation and ease of access to anyone, anywhere, anytime. I have already done that. Both are managed by reputed organizations and are free to use. Librarians in academic and other research-performing institutions may be given training to assist in this. 4. Authors may be persuaded to adopt preprint as the first choice of communication of all new results. There are many of them (and one can obtain a list from COAR), the well-known ones being arXiv, bioRxiv, chemRxiv, SocArXiv, etc. 5. Authors may be persuaded NOT to publish in commercial journals. If they still want to do that they should not pay APC. Certainly NO FUNDING AGENCY SHOULD UNDERWRITE APC. Transferring taxpayers; money to publishers is immoral and unethical. With best wishes, Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658On

Papers matter and not journals or publishers
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 May '24

16 May '24

Friends, Often scientists and librarians go by big names. But not all papers in big name journals are top class and not all journals published by big name publishers are decent journals. Please see what is happening at Wiley: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-takes/2024/05/15/wiley-shutter-19… https://retractionwatch.com/2023/03/21/nearly-20-hindawi-journals-delisted-… What really matters is what is in an individual paper and NOT in which journal it was published or by which publisher.

Dear LIS-Forum Members, Greetings! This is a gentle reminder about the best practices concerning the LIS-Forum email communications. When sending messages to the forum, please follow these guidelines: - While disseminating messages, please ensure that the ‘To’ field is exclusively reserved for the LIS-Forum address, lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in - Should you wish to include additional recipients, kindly place their email addresses in the ‘Bcc’ field. This measure safeguards the privacy of individual email IDs and prevents them from being visible to the entire membership. - Attachments: Please do not include any attachments (files or inline) in your LIS-Forum postings. Keeping messages text-based ensures consistency and accessibility for all members. - Email Sender Address: All LIS-Forum emails will be delivered from noreply(a)ncsinet.in.

Instead, choose the appropriate email address based on your intended recipient: - To reply to the LIS-Forum as a whole, use lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in - To reply directly to the original sender, use their email address. I greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation in these matters. Thank you once again for your valuable participation in the discussion list.

CUH Library Introduces a Value Added Course on "Open Access Publishing" for PG II Sem students
by Santosh C. H. 01 May '24

01 May '24

Dear Sir/ Madam, Season's greetings! We are happy to inform you that we recently introduced a Value Added Course on *"Open Access Publishing"* for the PG II Sem. students of Central University of Haryana. This initiative is one of our key initiatives in the domain of open access and is the result of our strong commitment towards promoting open access within our own community. Indeed, we find great possibilities to introduce different meaningful OA initiatives in the University landscape and achieve the possible impact of OA on the academic/ research community. We observe that many of the PG students are unfamiliar with OA publishing and its allied dimensions. Especially, researchers really need hand-holding as they need to be familiar with the publishing avenues in the OA domain. It reminds me of Peter Suber's words <https://openinterview.org/2019/06/29/peter-suber-the-largest-obstacles-to-o…>, "The largest obstacles to open access are unfamiliarity and misunderstanding of open access itself". In this context, it's our small effort to start with a small group of PG students! We are thankful to our authorities and academic fraternity for their support and encouragement for doing our best to promote open access in the Campus. For Course details, please visit https://library.cuh.ac.in/value-added-course/ We welcome your suggestions/ inputs to further improve the course curriculum. Thanks and regards, -- Santosh C. H., PhD <https://santoshch.my.canva.site/home> University Librarian Central University of Haryana <http://cuh.ac.in/> Mahendergarh-123 031 Haryana, India http://library.cuh.ac.in/ Cell: +91-99874 28147 .. -- DISCLAIMER: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Let us follow some standards
by Subbiah Arunachalam 01 May '24

01 May '24

Here is a suggestion for members of this forum. Please encourage all researhers - professors and students in academia and scientists in other research performing institutions to have a unique ORCID ID. It would help researchers everywhere navigate the litearature of science and attribute your papers to you unambiguously. Also, place all your papers in the free open access repository Zenodo.org maintained by CERN. Neither of these would take much time. Please spread the word among all Indian researchers (in S&T, humanities, social sciences, etc.) You may also follow standard abbreviations for journal titles as well as ISSN.

Health information is a right – new IFLA statement
by Dr. J. K. Vijayakumar 23 Apr '24

23 Apr '24

Health information is a right – new IFLA statement 21 April 2024 Libraries of different types, through providing inclusive access to information can make a major contribution to making the right to health a reality. Governments, in turn, can and should help realise this potential through law, regulation and funding, as a new statement [https://repository.ifla.org/handle/123456789/3276] from IFLA underlines. The COVID-19 pandemic shone a light on the importance of healthcare information. From that used by individuals in deciding how to act, to that applied by professionals in caring for patients, and that helping governments to take key policy decisions, the need for effective access and use was clear. Where there was information, people, professionals and those in power could take better decisions. Where there wasn’t, there were higher risks, missed opportunities, and unnecessary tragedies. Crucially, this access to health information is not equitable, both between individuals and between countries. IFLA’s new Statement on Universal Access to Healthcare Information as a Human Right calls for a stronger recognition of the need to address this situation as a rights issue. This is based on provisions that already exist in international human rights law. The statement stresses that delivering on this right requires a combination of investment in creation of information, work to make it accessible for all, supportive laws and regulations, and close engagement with society. Libraries play a key role in this, as pre-existing and recognised centres in their communities, with a strong understanding of their needs and how best to deliver access to information to them. Nonetheless, their role in providing health information is not always recognised. The statement therefore calls on libraries to work – in their advocacy and practice – to ensure that everyone has access to health information. To allow them to do this, it stresses that governments should clearly recognise the right to health information and pass supportive laws. It also calls for work to support the development of an offer of healthcare information, supporting libraries and other institutions as dissemination and application, and to promote partnerships. The statement was prepared by IFLA’s Special Interest Group on Evidence for Global and Disaster Health [https://www.ifla.org/units/e4gdh/], working with the IFLA's Health and Bioscience Libraries Section [https://www.ifla.org/units/health-and-biosciences-libraries/] , and approved by the IFLA Governing Board on 17 April 2024. We encourage library associations, libraries and the library and information workforce – in particular in heath libraries – to draw on this statement in engaging with health ministries and agencies, representatives of the World Health Organization in your countries, and other stakeholders. Read and download the Statement from IFLA’s Repository https://repository.ifla.org/handle/123456789/3276. (as appeared on the IFLA news website)

India: Policy memo released to build free libraries to all – Access
by madhan muthu 20 Apr '24

20 Apr '24

https://librarylearningspace.com/india-policy-memo-released-to-build-free-l… The memo seeks to establish a standard for what qualifies as a decent library and establish a curriculum for librarians so they can become ‘repositories for delivering constitutional rights’ instead of being ‘merely record keepers’. It also seeks to decentralise control so individual communities can decide how to start and run their local libraries, with help from union and state governments as well as bodies like the National Digital Library and Raja Rammohun Roy Library Foundation (RRRLF). It also advocates for robust data collection –according to the union government, of a total of 27,671 government-run libraries in India, only 7,836 exist outside southern states like Kerala, Tamil Nadu <https://indianexpress.com/article/when-is/tamil-nadu-lok-sabha-elections-20…> and Karnataka <https://indianexpress.com/article/when-is/karnataka-lok-sabha-elections-202…> .

Fwd: Open Access in India
by Subbiah Arunachalam 19 Apr '24

19 Apr '24

Friends, This is in reply to Dr Vyasamoorthy's post dated 15 April. 1. The statement "now India is the third largest contributor of scholarly research* followed by China*" is NOT true. Yes, India is the third largest in terms of number of papers published annually, but China does not follow Indi. Indeed China publishes the largest number of papers among all nations, nearly four times the number from India, as per *Web of Science* (and *Scopus*), followed by the US. 2. The STIP 2020, https://dst.gov.in/sites/default/files/STIP_Doc_1.4_Dec2020.pdf is still in the draft stage, more than three years after the draft was prepared. The draft was prepared during Prof. VijayRaghavan's tenure as PSA. I know many people who were part of the group that drafted the chapter pertaining to open access. They are knowledgeable and were proud and hapy to contribute to a useful and important task. There were different points of view and intense discussions. But now, looking back, all we have today is a mere draft, not a policy. 3. "The government is also contemplating to adopt “one nation one subscription” to make scholarly research accessible to every Indian without any cost and has started discussions with 70 publishers." The negotiation with the publishers started three years ago. The flip side of the ONOS plan is so far no agreement seems to have been reached and that every year individual institutions are asked to subscribe to journals towards the fag end of the financial year. Some members of this Forum might wish to share their experience. 4. "In India, the open access movement has gained momentum in the last few years<https://www.nature.com/articles/nindia.2020.125>. Now, it is one of the leading promoters of open access ..." Not true again. By no stretch of imagination can one call India a leading promoter of OA. India was one of the earliest to set up an institutional repository, when IISc came up with its EPrints repository (an IR) in early 2002. How many IRs do we have now? We have more than 1,100 universities, and several hundred other RPIs (research performing institutions) but most of them do not have an IR. Also, look at the per cent of the more than 100,000 papers Indian researchers publish annually that are OA - far below 50% when OA % for the world as a whole is above 50. If we are genuinely and seriously interested in adopting country-wide open access, the minimum we need to do is to (1) mandate immediate open access to at least all publicly funded research not through APC--charging journals but through institutional and global OA repositories, and (2) stop paying APC to journal publishers, especially if the research is funded/supported in some way by public body/agency. With best wishes, Arun

17 Apr '24

Launch Webinar: April 23, 1:00 - 2:30 CEST The research information landscape requires fundamental change. The signatories of the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information commit to taking a lead in transforming the way research information is used and produced. Openness of information about the conduct and communication of research must be the new norm. Open research information enables science policy decisions to be made based on transparent evidence and inclusive data. It enables information used in research evaluations to be accessible and auditable by those being assessed. And it enables the global movement toward open science to be supported by information that is fully open and transparent.

Open Access in India

https://thewire.in/education/indias-path-to-open-access-a-journey-towards-a… Aloke Nandi 5 mins read Aloke Nandi 5 mins read India's Path to Open Access: A Journey Towards Accessible Scholarly Research India has a long history of disseminating knowledge through writing books, articles and other forms of scholarly work and now India is the third largest contributor of scholarly research followed by China <https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/science/india-is-worlds-third-lar…>. As on April 11, 2024, India has contributed 3,372,588, scholarly publications; 7,77,500 publications are published in various open access platforms. The Indian government has made efforts to promote Open Access <https://dst.gov.in/sites/default/files/STIP_Doc_1.4_Dec2020.pdf> (OA) and adopt an open access policy at the national level. The plan is to make all central and state government-funded research available to the public through free access. The government is also contemplating to adopt “one nation one subscription” to make scholarly research accessible to every Indian without any cost and has started discussions with 70 publishers <https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/science/the-open-access-movement-to-make-…> . Open Access is an emerging term often discussed in academic and various publishing houses. Researchers promote OA by contributing publications in various open access journals, open access repositories, open access books, and self-archiving repositories like ResearchGate. Open Access refers to free access to scholarly publications to the public without any barrier. In India, the open access movement has gained momentum in the last few years <https://www.nature.com/articles/nindia.2020.125>. Now, it is one of the leading promoters of open access and disseminates knowledge to everyone through various scholarly publishing platforms such as open access journals, open access repositories, and preprint servers. *Open access initiatives in India* *Open access journals:* There are 16 leading contributors to generate 306 open access journals from India which is higher than China and Pakistan. These OA journals are published in various subjects such as Medicine, Technology, Social Sciences, and Physical Science. Nilaranjan Barik and Puspanjali <https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0361526X.2023.2183926#:~:text=A….> Jena reported that 79.08% of open-access journals published in Medicine subjects and leading publishers are Wolters Kluwer’s Medknow Publications, Thieme Medical and National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources (NISCAIR). *Open access repository:* India is not only contributing to open access journals but also coming up with open-access repositories. The first Indian OA repository was launched by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) <https://www.downtoearth.org.in/blog/science-technology/india-has-lost-its-w…> in Bengaluru. As on April 11 2024, India has over 100 open access registered at OpenDOAR <https://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/view/repository_by_country/India.html> and ranked 15 number globally. India is one of the leading OA repository contributors and is ahead of China. Various institutional repositories in the country have been implemented using open-source software and have disseminated scholarly content to the research community. *Open access digital library:* Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) Centre, Gandhinagar hosts a national repository of theses. The INFLIBNET Centre signed MoUs [Memorandum of Understanding] with various Indian universities and has made many thesis readily available to the public without any restriction. As on April 11, 2024, 5,26,350 theses have been added to Shodhganga <https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://s…>. In addition, INFLIBNET also hosts an open access repository of synopsis of Indian researchers. The top leading contributors are Anna University (15906), Savitribai Phule Pune University (12699), and Chhatrapati Sahuji Maharaj University (101) <https://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/>. *Krishikosh:* It is an institutional repository of the Indian National Agricultural Research System and was was launched by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (ICAR-IARI). It hosts Ph.D. theses, M.Sc and PG theses. The National Digital Library of India (NDLI) was launched under the National Mission on Education through the Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) programme and it was funded by the Ministry of Education. This repository is maintained by the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. <https://ndl.iitkgp.ac.in/> Another open-access digital library is the National Virtual Library of India <https://indianculture.gov.in/> which is multilingual and contains books, images, audio and video files, etc. Science Central is also a renowned digital library of 42 institutional repositories funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) or the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), India <https://www.sciencecentral.in/>. As per a report, there are 3438 items in the Science Central and 69% of the documents <https://www.nature.com/articles/nindia.2020.125> are made full text available. *Open access preprint server:* India has launched the first preprint server called IndiaRxiv (India Archive) to promote open access scholarly literature published by Indian researchers or literature on India. It hosted various scholarly publications on various subjects. This preprint server is managed by Open Access India and hosted by the Society for Promotion of Horticulture, Bengaluru <https://indiarxiv.wordpress.com/policy/>. Despite progress, there are still certain challenges to overcome the problem of promoting open access in India. There is a lack of awareness among researchers as well as institutions to adopt the open access policy. Secondly, there is a lack of funds, and infrastructures to promote and adopt open access policy. The open access movement in India is at an unfolding stage. The future of open access in the country looks bright if organisations and funding agencies adopt open access policies and create more open-access repositories. To further promote open access, the Indian government should focus on research and development and initiatives like INFLIBNET Centre and the National Digital Library of India. *Lambodara Parabhoi is a Professional Assistant in Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla.* Viewed using Just Read <https://justread.link/> Report an error <https://github.com/ZachSaucier/Just-Read/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue…> Dr P Vyasamoorthy / 9490804278
