Dear All, Many of the policy makers did not favor open access of ETD or other resources, in my view one of the major reason for the same is the case mentioned in the linked article below. I would like to know any other reason for the same from other intellectual fraternity who did not supports the open access. One of the reason is they wish to make the same articles 2/3 by replicating the things with little modifications and may be some other good reasons about which i am not aware. https://journosdiary.com/2017/03/16/plagiarism-iiser-thiruvananthapuram/ With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.
