Dear Moderator The business model suggested by David Willet the Science Minister in UK government for enabling the sustainability to scientific publications in the Open Access Journals appears to be very thought provoking and an exciting one. Elaborating his seminal idea, Mr. Willet has stated that one of the clear options was to shift to a system from which university libraries pay for journals to one in which the academics are paid to publish. He has also buttressed his opinion by a practice from the Dept. Of particle Physics in United States. Whereas his concern demonstrates the commitment of the UK government to facilitate free flow of the scholarly communication towards the advancement of scientific knowledge, it appears to be rather difficult to get translated into actual practice. Universities libraries will still require budgetary allocations to acquire journals which are published by some other publishers from other nations. The direct transfer of funds in the hands of the teachers/scholars to get their research article published in open access journals is also fraught with danger of misappropriation and pilferages. Nevertheless, we in the Indian situation of extreme resource crunch on one hand and the increasing need for latest scientific research information on the other hand also require such original out of box thinking to encourage peer reviewed quality scientific publications in open access journals.
