CSIR’S MANDATE ON OA

Implementation of recommendations of the “Group for Open Access to Science Publications (GOASP) of CSIR” – 6 February 2009

All research papers published from all CSIR laboratories be made open access either in IR or in OA journal

All CSIR journals be made open access

Each laboratory sets up its own interoperable institutional open access repository

CSIR’S MANDATE ON OA

CSIR / laboratories sets up one or more centre(s) for harvesting the full-text & metadata of the papers

Each laboratory sets up Electronic Thesis & Dissertations Repository

To hold a conference for creating awareness on Open Access

To hold in house Training programmes on Open Access

Sensitize CSIR researchers

CSIR’S MANDATE ON OA

CSIR-URDIP will setup a central harvester for harvesting full-text & metadata of all these papers/documents

All the CSIR journals published by CSIR-NISCAIR have been made open access. Progressively, all CSIR publications will be made open access

CSIR-NISCAIR will organize training programmes-

for Scientists to change their perceptions towards open access for editors & journal production officers of CSIR & other scientific

agencies for personnel from CSIR laboratories who would be setting up IRs

CSIR’S MANDATE ON OA

Every year CSIR will celebrate “Open Access Day” during the International Open Access Week (lectures, programmes, taking new OA initiatives, publicizing the statistics of downloads)

If publishers do not follow transparent models of subscription/licensing the content, CSIR scientists will not publish in those journals, will not review the papers & will not join editorial boards

CSIR will lead the Open Access Movement within the country to form a National Open Access Policy to mandate the availability of output of publically funded research in public domain

BACKGROUND- HOW IT STARTED?

With the Open Access movement gaining momentum, CSIR-NISCAIR decided to make available all its journals in the open access

Consequently, the NISCAIR Online Periodicals Repository (NOPR) was developed in 2008

On the occasion of the First International Open Access Day, on 14 October 2008 Prof. Samir Brahmachari, former DG-CSIR, launched two journals, viz. Indian Journal of Chemistry-Section A (IJC-A) and Indian Journal of Biochemistry & Biophysics (IJBB) in Open Access mode

NOPR TODAY

NOPR provides open access to full text articles of all the 17 primary journals

NISCAIR's online repository today holds more than 26000 full text articles and users from more than 140 countries with about 41 lakh downloads

Natural Products and Resources Repository, Science Reporter, Vigyan Pragati and Science-ki-Duniya have also been made available online

Gradually adding back volumes.

Going online, before the print version is published

Making the articles searchable in all major search engines

OPEN ACCESS ON THE NISCAIR AGENDA

CSIR-NISCAIR’s Biennial Report’s cover-page depicting the “Open Access” theme.

CSIR-NISCAIR has been committed to Open Access ever since

ATTRIBUTES OF NOPR

NOPR has been registered with International bodies like:

Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR) Directory of Open Access Repositories (DOAR) Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) Harvesters, Crawlers, Databases Google Analytics, Google Scholar

Implemented Creative Commons License for NISCAIR publications in August 2010. Adopted CC Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 2.5 India ( )

EVOLUTION OF NOPR

The Repository started with the publication data of 2007

Completed digitization & open access of Annals of Library and Information Studies (ALIS) covering 42 years data from 1954-1998 starting with Volume 1 Issue 1

100% digitization & open access of all volumes of 5 journals (ALIS, IJBT, IJNPR/NPR, IJTK & JIPR)

*- Previous Years papers: ALIS: 1954-1998, IJBB: 1984 highly cited article, IJFTR: Special Issues of 1991,92,94,96,97, JIPR: 1996-98

OA BENEFITS

Benefits to CSIR-NISCAIR

Accessibility & visibility of CSIR-NISCAIR increased as seen from the statistics

Impact Factors increased Inflow of articles increased More submissions from foreign countries

Benefits to Scientific Community Access to archival of thousands of full texts papers for

research purpose Current issue full text available well before its print

edition

FUTURE PLAN

To digitize papers of all volumes of 17 journals & its Open Access

Digitization already started from year 1998, completed for two more journals

This will add approx. 70,000 articles to existing repository, making total articles more than 1 lakh

Target to be achieved within two years

Further, to digitize all volumes of three Popular Science Magazines (Science Reporter, Vigyan Pragati and Science-ki-Duniya) and its Open Access.
