Title Open access scholarly publishing in library and information science
 
Creator Mukherjee, Bhaskar
 
Description 212-223
Investigates the trend of open access journals publishing in the field of library and information science in terms of
language, top-level-domain, country and time. Using authoritative print as well as online directories, the study identifies 124
e-journals in the field of LIS that are accessible freely, either partially or fully, on the Web. Of these, 12 titles have ceased their
publication and remaining 112 titles are presently accessible freely on the Web. Analysis of the 112 e-journals shows that
English is the most widely used language of LIS scholarly publishing. Most of these OA journals are originating either from
academic or organizational domain and developed countries like USA and UK are publishing most of the OA journals. Concludes
that there is a need for taking initiatives to publish qualitative open access journals from the less-developed countries.
