'Open-Access-in-India,' my personal journey
by Francis Jayakanth 04 Feb '25

04 Feb '25

Date: 03 Feb 2025 From: Subbiah Arunachalam subbiah.arunachalam(a)gmail.com Friends, Greetings from Chennai. About a year ago, Dr Abel Packer (SciELO and PAHO) requested me to contribute an account of my journey in (the advocacy and promotion of) Open Access for a book to be brought out as part of celebrating the 25th anniversary of SciELO, by far the most successful initiative from the global South in community-led STEM journal publishing. Together with Redalyc and CLACSO, SciELO has made a significant impact in the dissemination of knowledge in science and scholarship, especially in Ibero-America, playing, as it were, the role of a valiant David against the Goliath represented by the publishing oligarchy from the Global North and its an insatiable thirst for making publishing a perpetual moneymaking machine. The book entitled 'We So Loved Open Access' is now available as a hard copy and an e-book. https://doi.org/10.21452/abec.2023.isbn.978-65-993452-6-5 With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam
