Abstract/Description: | Agricultural research and education in India have been in the public domain. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) was established as an apex organization for effective research coordination among institutions and promotion of agricultural research in the country. For the dissemination of research output, the research journals published in India have been, for long, primarily a public funded activity and done mostly by government agencies. In case of agricultural research, the journals are being published by ICAR and by respective professional societies. Many of these societies are receiving financial assistance partly from ICAR. Each discipline of agriculture is having at least a professional society and for some disciplines, there are more than one societies and each society is publishing a peer reviewed research journal. Though many of these journals are sent for international indexing like CAB Abstracts, full-text database services, etc., look poor. Many of them are not even in the ISI Master Journal list for the impact factor or Science Citation Index (SCI) analysis. The main objective of authors is to have more impact, visibility and readership of his/her contribution. These journals publish quality articles after stringent peer review process, but the time lag from submission to publication of an article or production of issue is more. There are instances where the articles sent for review were not returned back due to various reasons. The infrastructure for publishing online is also not available for these journals. Recently, a portal (www.indianjournals.com) had started providing free online access of some journals being published by professional societies. Under National Agriculture Innovation Project (NAIP), ICAR is investing considerably for ensuring availability of some non-free online journals along with all open access journals. Now the time has come to think about wider reach without restrictions on the lines of open access and open archiving of research publications. This paper discusses about the prospects of open access to ICAR system. |
